Newly wed and music star, Davido has reacted to the counter affidavit filed by Sophia Momodu, the mother of his first child Imade Adeleke, in response to the originating motions filed by the singer.
The singer had prayed the court for “an order granting joint custody of their daughter. In the alternative, the singer prayed to the court for “an order granting to the applicant unfettered and unrestricted access to Miss Imade.”
Yesterday, July 5, details of the counter affidavit filed by Sophia in response to the Originating Motions filed by the singer emerged online.
In a 102-paragraph counter-affidavit to Applicant’s Originating Motion, Sophia stated that their daughter “is a minor (9 years old) and as her mother, she has stayed with me all her life and I have been responsible for her welfare, upkeep, and well-being.”
Giving other reasons, why custody should not be granted to the Davido, Sophia stated that ”the fact that the applicant lost his son in his house in rather unfortunate and questionable circumstances shows that our daughter cannot be placed in the custody of the Applicant.”
Reacting to the counter-affidavit, Davido knocked Sophia for constantly bringing up the death of his son, Ifeanyi, at every opportunity given.
In an unexpected move, the singer also appeared to back out of the child custody case for their daughter, telling Sophia “you can have her.”
He wrote:
“You’re 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!”
Shortly after the post, Davido took to Instagram to lament, stating that he only wants shared custody of his daughter, and he went on to differentiate between full and shared custody.
In the post, Davido wrote;
”All I ask for is JOINT CUSTODY !! And nothing else! But cus it’s ‘Davido’ all wanna act like yall can’t read. Smh . I’m off this! Yall be blessed and I pray this never happens to you.
Joint custody – Both parents will have access to the child. Sole custody – Only a single parent will have access to the child.”
