The real value of rap music has changed from its major function to whatever the rapper wants. Nigeria has many rappers like Reminisce, MI, Olamide, Erigga, Chino Ekun and many others.

But over the years, the fans of Reminisce and MI have been locked in a battle of deciding who the better is. They have proffered copious musical insights to give their preferred rapper the upperhand.

Nigerian music sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido is basking in fatherly joy as he reunites with his first daughter, Imade Adeleke, amid a heated custody battle with her mother, Sophia Momodu.

Taking to his Instagram page stories on Wednesday, the award-winning Afrobeats star shared a heartwarming photo of himself with 10-year-old Imade, both smiling for the camera. He also posted a screenshot of a FaceTime call between himself, Imade, and his second daughter, Hailey.

In a short, emotional caption, Davido wrote, “Best day of my life”.

This joyful reunion comes after a long-drawn custody dispute that began in 2022.

In June 2023, Davido filed a lawsuit seeking joint custody of Imade, claiming that Sophia had denied him access to their daughter while allegedly demanding excessive financial support, allegations she denied.

Sophia, in response, filed a counter affidavit opposing Davido’s request, citing concerns over his lifestyle and the tragic loss of his son, Ifeanyi, as reasons why he should not have full or joint custody.

The relationship between the former lovers soured even further after Davido rekindled his romance with Chioma Rowland, who is now his wife.

She also accused the singer of financial abuse and using access to their daughter as a form of manipulation.
