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.
