Davido Reunites with Daughter Imade Amid Ongoing Custody Battle with Sophia Momodu
Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has reunited with his first daughter, Imade Adeleke, in the midst of a legal battle over custody with her mother, Sophia Momodu.
The singer had filed a lawsuit against Sophia at the Lagos State High Court in April 2024, seeking joint custody and unfettered access to their daughter. In response, Sophia submitted a 102-paragraph counter-affidavit, alleging that Davido had abdicated his parental responsibilities after she ended their intimate relationship.
Despite the ongoing legal tension, a heartwarming moment emerged on Wednesday night when Davido took to social media to share a photo of himself with Imade, describing it as the “Best day of my life.”
Reacting to the situation, veteran journalist and Sophia’s uncle, Dele Momodu, addressed the matter in a detailed Facebook post. He revealed that the court has directed both parties to explore resolution through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), suggesting a possible out-of-court settlement may be in the works.
The reunion between Davido and Imade marks a significant emotional development in a case that has drawn considerable public interest.
