Davido Reunites with First Daughter, Imade, Says It’s ‘Best Day of My Life’

Published

By

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.

In response to the frenzy, Sunny Ade took to a video released by his wife, Mrs. Bose Olubo-Adegeye, to dispel the unfounded rumours.

“Nobody kidnapped me,” the renowned singer said with his accustomed calmness.

“I pray, as I don’t want anybody to kidnap me. I believe the whole world is in love with me. This is me, King Sunny Ade.

“I have to thank God and you, my fans, for the concern. I have been doing my shows. I was at a show last Saturday at Lekki, Lagos. I am on my way to have a show, and I am coming back again to play in Lagos, as well,” he said.

Sunny Ade, fondly referred to as KSA, reassured his fans, thanking them for their concern and love.

The musician explained that the confusion surrounding his absence could have been linked to the fact that some of his children hadn’t seen him recently.

“I know my children are in love with me, and they want to see me. I didn’t go anywhere. This is me. I thank the children, too, for their concern as well,” KSA added.

The 78-year-old star, who is known for his vibrant performances and contributions to Nigerian music, expressed his continued passion for music.
