Davido swallows vomit, issues careless apology to Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu
• Why Momodu refused to stoop to musician’s height
Being rich and famous does not translate to being ‘good daddy material.’ It does not translate to being a model mom too but hip hop crooner, David Adeleke a.k.a Davido and his estranged ‘baby mama,’ Sophie Momodu, seem ignorant of this fact. That is why they carry on like the proverbial mosquitoes that would drown in the latrine with the habitual drunk; led by their lust for sweaty capillaries.
Like star-crossed lovers, hip-hop crooner, Davido and Sophie may have squandered the rest of whatever goodwill they enjoyed in the celebrity court of public opinion. A recent spat between the duo over custody of their lovechild, Imade, spilled sordid details about their relationship unto the social media.
And worse hit by the backlash in the wake of their spat, is Davido, Sophie and Ovation Publisher, Dele Momodu.
How the scandal began…
The crisis began when Sophia and her family reportedly filed a petition against Davido and his family for alleged child trafficking. According to Sophie, her daughter Imade Aurora Adeleke, has been with the Adelekes since July 11, 2015. She sent a petition addressed to the Director-General National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons to prevent her daughter from travelling with Davido.
This infuriated Davido and led to his of release of a lengthy recount of his side of the story via his Instagram handle which has since generated a lot of different views in the public domain.
According to him: “I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.
Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions.
“But I also have been burdened by the lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade. As for the person of Sophia, I paid a two year rent for her apartment at Lekki and she receives a monthly allowance of N300,000 naira from me ever since Imade was born.
This December, Sophia received N500,000 naira as her allowance and Christmas bonus. On a routine hospital check, my daughter was found to be infested with massive dosage of poisonous cannabis that she contracted from the breast feeding regime of her mother’s breast. We still don’t know how much Imade was damaged by this toxic feeding and medical tests and procedures continue to rise and bemuse me and my family members. Already, Imade has special needs and has been treated at the American Hospital, Dubai with all medical costs and travel expenses drawn off my personal purse ever since she was born.
“On December 29, Imade was supposed to travel, once more, to Dubai for further medical care. A family vacation was attached to this medical trip. But our family plan was truncated by Sophia, her uncle, Dele Momodu in the company of his wife, and all these persons were the significant accessory to the Lagos Airport debacle. It is this incidence of December 29 that made implicitly necessary to bring my family matter to the public domain.”
But while followers of the scandalous drama anticipated an equally caustic response from Ovation Publisher, Dele Momodu, to Davido, the celebrity journalist and publisher has disclosed that the intervention of the Orangun of Oke Ila, Oba Dokun Abolarin, stopped him from replying the insults hurled at him by Davido and others over the baby mama controversy.
However, in a radical turn of events, Davido has apologized to Dele Momodu and his fans over the baby abduction drama .According to him: “Mr. Dele Momodu I apologise but …U didn’t have to.”
The artist insisted that the allegations against him were false, saying, “All these lies being put on me … no be today … I have so much to say but in respect for my daughter I will keep quiet … I apologiz.” He appreciated his supporters and those “bashing” him, adding that “The truth will come out! Even if I don’t keep her, she will grow up to know I fought for her.”
