Mother of Alleged Davido Daughter Demands Fair DNA Test

Ayo Labinjoh, mother of Anu, the teenage girl claiming to be Davido’s daughter, has caused a stir online with fresh statements about her daughter’s paternity. Taking over her daughter’s social media account to allow Anu to focus on her mental health and school, Labinjoh said she is currently traveling to Lagos and Ibadan. She accused Davido of refusing to communicate privately despite Anu’s request for a discussion and called for an independent DNA test. “This is Ayo Labinjoh. Thank you for all your DMs. I am currently on the road traveling on my way to Lagos first, then IB. I’m a business trader and travel a lot across West Africa. I have asked Anu to log out of this account and I will be taking over again full time. I want her to focus on her mental health and school work. She asked David if he wanted to talk to me but he refused. We could have worked out an independent DNA test for Anu,” she wrote. Labinjoh strongly disputed Davido’s claims that five DNA tests had been conducted, calling the reports “delusional.” She said, “To say you did 5 DNA tests, not even two anymore silencing us all these years is delusional. You want to contact us privately but tell people publicly that I’m a bitch and obsessed fan you paid off after 5 negative tests, call our child mad and bullied her to the core on January 15th, 2026.” She added that the family has yet to see any published results of these alleged tests. She also revealed plans to register Anu as a US citizen at the American Embassy using a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), which requires acknowledgement of paternity or a DNA test. “We are ready for our 2nd DNA test supervised by David’s embassy. NOBODY CAN SILENCE ANU,” she wrote. Labinjoh further claimed that the 2014 DNA test was mishandled, saying, “The only DNA test was altered September 2014. There was no DNA swab. They took Anu’s blood and Davido’s blood was drawn separately in a room we were not allowed to enter. The false negative test with a big bag of money. There is no record of 5 DNA tests anywhere, and I never picked any hospital. Dr Adeleke picked the hospital lab and paid for it. It is not ours.” Her statements have reignited public debate, with Labinjoh insisting that the family seeks a fair and transparent DNA test to finally settle the paternity question.

I know you love children a lot, not like Pascal Okechukwu, big belle for no reason.”

Anu Adeleke’s Alleged Mother Breaks Silence, Accuses Davido Of Bullying And Insists Daughter Is Fighting For Her Identity

The woman behind the renewed paternity controversy involving Davido has issued a lengthy clarification, saying her decision to speak out was driven solely by concern for her daughter’s wellbeing. Using her daughter’s Instagram account, she identified herself as Ayo Labinjoh and firmly rejected being described as Davido’s baby mama or being labeled a prostitute. She said she has deliberately stayed away from public drama over the years to protect her daughter from emotional harm caused by constant online attacks and bullying. “Good evening, we are heading to bed now. First things first, my name is Ayo Labinjoh. I’m NOT Davido’s baby mama or a bitch. I am very protective of my daughter’s mental health after the level of bullying she went through for years. My daughter cried for days, fainted in school and went through psychotherapy.” According to her, the family had largely moved on from the issue until it resurfaced again, dragging her daughter back into public attention. She accused Davido of ignoring her for years while privately portraying her as a prostitute, a claim she strongly denied. “David Adeleke has largely ignored me for years because he thought he picked up a prostitute from GQClub in Ibadan. I was a waitress and not picked up on the streets. I come from a good home.” She went on to speak about her background and her late father, while also describing her daughter as intelligent, tech-savvy and highly protected from conversations about her family at school. She stressed that she keeps no friends and ensures no one discusses her daughter’s personal life with her. Labinjoh also challenged Davido’s claim that five DNA tests had been conducted. She alleged that the testing process was mishandled from the beginning and that the public had been misled about the number of tests done. “Dr Deji Adeleke took us to a LAB not a hospital where Anu’s blood was drawn in 2014 then discarded behind our backs and fake result was printed,” she claimed, adding that Nigerians were previously told two tests were done before the narrative later changed to five. She expressed shock that her daughter began trending again on social media, saying it followed renewed denials and insults from Davido. “To my shock she was trending on X because her dad needed to call me a bitch that he’s never met yet he subjected himself to a DNA test 5X?” Labinjoh further alleged that Davido contacted her daughter directly, accusing him of threatening and bullying the teenager through private messages. “My daughter is fighting for her identity. David chatted my daughter tonight threatening to lock me up, cursing Anu and repeatedly bullying her.” She concluded by insisting that the situation is not about financial gain but about her daughter’s right to know her identity. She said she plans to seek an independently supervised DNA test, possibly involving international authorities, to ensure transparency. “My daughter did not beg to be here… Bullying my daughter is WRONG.”

I will soon treat their FK … 5 fucking hospitals just to be clear … the mom needs to go to jail … I don’t blame the poor girl.” Davido later defended himself further, stating: “Yes, I chose 3 hospitals and they chose their own two hospitals … all came out negative.

Billionaire Daughter Sharon Adeleke Opens Up About Struggling With Success Despite Wealth

Billionaire daughter Sharon Adeleke has shared an honest reflection on her struggles with success, wealth, and self-doubt. In a recent post, she revealed that despite having access to opportunities, networks, and funding most people can only dream of, she often felt frustrated that success didn’t come as easily as she expected. She admitted to comparing herself to entrepreneurs who started with just a few thousand dollars and went on to build million-dollar companies, while she, with far greater resources, sometimes felt stuck. Sharon explained that a conversation with her therapist helped her gain clarity. Her therapist reminded her that “you don’t know what you don’t know,” pointing out that she lacked certain lessons, insights, and experiences that money alone couldn’t provide. The advice helped her see that growth and success take more than resources—they also require time, learning, and self-discovery.   View this post on Instagram
