June 23, (THEWILL) – Sophia Momodu, a baby mama to singer David Adeleke, aka Davido, has responded to the lawsuit the singer initiated against her at the Lagos State High Court over the custody of their daughter, Imade. THEWILL had reported that Davido, through his lawyers, asked the court to grant him joint custody of their 9-year-old daughter. Davido’s lawyers, Olaniyi Arije, Okey Barrah, and others, filed the lawsuit on April 17, 2024.
Among several allegations, Davido claimed 37-year-old Sophia rejected a N200 million apartment in a gated community with a swimming pool and 24-hour power and water supply in Oniru, Victoria Island, Lagos, which he had purchased for her and Imade. The singer claimed that Imade’s mother demanded he pay the nanny she hired $800 monthly, totalling $19,600 per year, as a lump sum. He alleged that despite his efforts to ensure a better life for their daughter, Sophia continued to treat him with unwarranted cruelty and caused him significant pain.
However, reacting to Davido’s lawsuit through her legal representative, Punuka attorneys & solicitors and Bimpe Ajegbomogun & Co, Sophia, a niece of media personality, Dele Momodu, refuted the allegations the singer levelled against her. In a statement by her legal representative, Sophia stated that she only denied Davido intimacy and not access to their daughter. “David Adeleke and Sophia Momodu were in a relationship from 2014-2017 and 2020-2022.
During this time, David provided financial sup.
