Davido Drops Child Custody Case, Accuses Lawyer of Taking Battle Too Far
Nigerian superstar Davido has opened up about his ongoing custody battle with ex-partner Sophia Momodu, clarifying that he never sought full custody of their daughter, Imade Adeleke, but only joint custody.
Addressing reports of his courtroom outburst, the singer explained why he is withdrawing the case, calling out Sophia’s lawyer for taking the dispute too far.
He shared on social media:
- “I never asked for full custody. I asked for joint custody.”
- “Nobody won, nobody lost, but Imade… so I don’t know why some people are celebrating. There’s nothing to celebrate.”
- “I’ve decided to drop the case because when I was spanking that lawyer in the courtroom… until she brought out her last card! MY DECEASED SON! THAT’S A NO-NO! Lowest blow!”
- “My daughter will grow up knowing I fought for her. Let’s move on. One love!”
Davido also took to Instagram to directly call out the lawyer, saying:
“I disgraced you in the courtroom. I was teaching you your work; you couldn’t even take it, and then you went on to mention My Son. Like I said in the courtroom, I pray you never go through what me and my wife have gone through ever. And you were still smiling, smirking. You are a wicked human being. You’re the worst lawyer ever. I beat you in court!”
The singer’s posts highlight the emotional intensity of the high-profile custody case and his decision to step back while emphasising his commitment to his daughter.
