Nigerian music superstar Davido has finally reunited with his first daughter, Imade Adeleke, amid an ongoing custody battle with his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu.
The award-winning singer shared a reunion photo with Imade on Wednesday night, describing it as the "Best day of my life" in what appears to be a significant development in their relationship.
The reunion comes against the backdrop of legal proceedings initiated in April 2024, when Davido filed a lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court seeking custody of Imade. The singer had accused Sophia of denying him access to their daughter, prompting the legal action.
Legal Battle Details
In response to Davido's lawsuit, Sophia Momodu filed a substantial 102-paragraph counter-affidavit opposing the singer's claims. She reportedly accused Davido of neglecting his paternal responsibilities after she refused to continue an intimate relationship with him.
The public dispute took another turn when Sophia's uncle, renowned journalist Dele Momodu, revealed in a detailed Facebook post that the court has referred the case for possible settlement through alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
While the legal proceedings continue, this reunion suggests a potential thaw in the relationship between the co-parents, though it remains unclear whether this represents a permanent resolution to their differences or a temporary arrangement.
The custody battle has attracted significant public attention since it began, with fans and observers closely following developments between the music star and the mother of his first child.
Neither Davido nor Sophia has made any official statement regarding the current status of their legal dispute following this reunion.
