Amid the ongoing court case between Davido and Sophia Momodu for joint custody of their daughter Imade, Davido has stated that Sophia can have custody.
On July 5, 2024, Davido took to the insta-stories section of his verified Instagram page to address the custody battle with Sophia Momodu in an emotional series of posts.
His first post read, “You are constantly bringing up the death of my child at any point u can to just remind us of this tragedy that haunts us every day of our lives… Imade will grow up to see I fought for her. As for now, u can have her. P.S. She won’t be a child forever. Enjoy, Imade Aurora Adeleke! Your father loves you!”
He clarified his stance on the custody matter, explaining that he simply wanted to share custody with his child’s mother.
“Joint custody: Both parents will have access to the child. Sole custody – Only a single parent will have access to the child. All I ask for is JOINT CUSTODY !! And nothing else! But cus it’s ‘Davido’ y’all wanna act like y’all can’t read. Smh.. I’m off this! Yall be blessed, and I pray this never happens to you,” he wrote.
Davido’s posts followed their appearance before Justice Bashua’s family court in Yaba, Lagos State, earlier that day. Throughout the court proceedings, the singer emphasized that, contrary to Momodu’s claims, he has been fulfilling his paternal responsibilities to Imade over the years, including paying her school fees, providing transportation, and even providing accommodation.
