Award-winning artist David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has hinted that he may leave his first child, Imade, in the custody of her mother, Sophia Momodu.
This comes after Momodu filed a counter-affidavit claiming that Davido is unfit to raise their daughter.
“The applicant cannot take proper care of our daughter because he lives a controversial lifestyle (negative media attention) that will expose our daughter to more negative trauma at her tender age.
“The applicant in his role as an artiste always travels and allows many unsavoury male adults around him and his house, who will not be a good influence on an impressionable young female child, like our daughter.
“The applicant disagreed with child therapy as the applicant has been estranged from our daughter for a while and safely and sustainably establishing a meaningful presence in our daughter’s life is paramount.
“The applicant is married to another woman, and they live together. The proper upbringing of our daughter by another cannot be guaranteed.
“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.” tbe document partly read.
Davido responded, expressing the pain of losing his son and indicating his willingness to let go of seeking custody.
“Imade will grow up to see I fought for her. As for now, you can have her. P.S: she won’t be a child forever .. enjoy, Imade Aurora Adeleke ! Your father loves you! he concluded.
