Kemi Olunloyo Responds To Deji Adeleke’s Davido Paternity Briefing, Says Son Should Not Be Involved

Kemi Olunloyo has reacted to businessman Deji Adeleke’s press briefing on the paternity dispute involving his son, singer Davido, and a teenage girl, Anuoluwapo. The controversy resurfaced after a social media account linked to the girl called on Davido to undergo another DNA test, despite previous results indicating he is not her father. At a Wednesday press briefing, Adeleke said multiple DNA tests had been conducted, all showing Davido is not the child’s father. “We would have accepted the child if the results had been different,” he stated. He explained that he first learned of the claim in 2014, when he received a package from Ibadan containing photographs, a birth certificate, and a letter from the girl’s grandmother. The initial DNA test, conducted in Lagos and analyzed in South Africa, showed zero probability of paternity, and two subsequent tests confirmed the same. Adeleke declined to release the DNA reports publicly, saying, “It is dangerous for anyone’s DNA profile to be in the public domain.” Responding to Adeleke on TikTok, Olunloyo criticized him for mentioning her and her son. “I opened the Instagram page for Anu to give her individuality and returned it to her mother in 2019,” she said. “You sat there talking about my son. What do you know about him? He is not on social media and he is autistic. Leave my name out of it. It is Davido who should be addressing this issue.” Olunloyo also disputed claims of multiple DNA tests for Davido, saying only one was conducted. “All we want is for you to establish the girl’s identity and let her go. You don’t know what she will become tomorrow,” she said. She addressed Anu’s mother, Ayo, claiming she was told Davido was involved and that he communicated directly with Ayo, though Olunloyo’s investigation suggested Davido may have used another person’s phone. She said her involvement has always been for the child’s welfare: “I want Anu to live a good life. I opened an account for her and have been saving money. She will have access to it when she turns 18.” Olunloyo also revealed that she paid for the girl’s first year in school and attempted to raise further funds for her. Adeleke, meanwhile, denied Olunloyo’s claims of close ties with his family, saying, “She says she was my wife’s best friend. I have never met her.” He urged the public to ignore online narratives surrounding the paternity dispute.

He is my small friend,” she said. “I remember when he started at the Shrine, he was a backup singer. I cannot stop liking Wizkid.” However, she expressed disappointment over Fela being mentioned in the drama. “He did too much by insulting my father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti,” Yeni stated. “If you have a problem with someone, why are you now calling Fela out?”. “I love Wizkid a lot, he’s my friend.

VeryDarkMan Slams Wizkid For Using Fela’s Name Amid Seun Kuti Feud, Criticizes Nigeria For Disrespecting Music Legends

VeryDarkMan has sharply criticized Wizkid for involving Fela Kuti in his feud with Seun Kuti, insisting the singer should have addressed Seun directly instead of dragging the Afrobeat legend’s name into the conflict. “Nigeria is the only country without music legends. While other countries idolize theirs, in Nigeria, they call it ‘past glory.’ I even expected Wizkid to call out Seun Kuti directly, without mentioning his father, Fela,” he said. He also questioned the significance of Wizkid’s Grammy win, arguing that it does not reflect true mastery of music. “Because of Wizkid, people disrespect Fela. Let’s talk about Grammy. This 2026, Fela will receive a lifetime achievement award at the Grammys after being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2025. Did Wizkid ever get a lifetime achievement award? Never. Which song? Which piece of music? Music is an art involving instruments and drumming. Wizkid can’t even play an instrument. He can’t even match Made Kuti. It’s because people don’t respect their legends that Wizkid uses Fela’s name.” VeryDarkMan went on to describe Wizkid’s Grammy as a “compensation award,” saying, “Take a good look at Wizkid’s Grammy — Best Music Video. This is not a real Grammy. Cry all you want, it is what it is. Now let’s talk about Nigerians who actually have Grammys. Burna Boy won Best Global Music Album twice, solo. Tems won Best African Music Performance and also collaborated with Future and Drake. Yet people disrespect Fela, claiming he was irresponsible. None of us match that level of artistry.” He concluded that the feud exposes a bigger issue in Nigeria: the country’s failure to honor and protect the legacy of its music legends, leaving contemporary stars to exploit iconic names instead of truly respecting them. “Nigeria is the only country in the word that don’t have music legends like other countries do they label them ‘past glory.’ I thought WizKid would call out Seun Kuti directly, without mentioning Fela,” ~ VeryDarkMan say pic.twitter.com/kD9SPHCMfH — ORITOKE MEDIA (@oritokemedia_1) January 22, 2026

Rivers Chief Judge Declines To Probe Governor Fubara, Citing Court Order

Rivers State Chief Judge, Justice Simeon Amadi, has declined to form a judicial panel to investigate Governor Siminalayi Fubara, pointing to an existing High Court order that bars such action. The Rivers State House of Assembly had requested the chief judge to establish a seven-member panel to probe Governor Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, over allegations of gross misconduct. A source close to the matter revealed on Wednesday that Justice Amadi cannot act on the request because he is bound by a subsisting court order from a High Court in Port Harcourt. “The state High Court has issued an order in which the name of the Chief Judge was mentioned. He cannot disobey the law; he must do exactly what the court says,” the source said. The source further noted that while the Assembly faction led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule could appeal the ruling, the current order remains in force. “There is a possibility that the Amaewhule group may go on appeal, but the fact remains that the Chief Judge has been ordered by the High Court not to do anything contrary. If there was no court order, I can tell you sincerely that the Chief Judge would have no option but to set up the investigative panel,” the source added.
