“Best Day of My Life”: Davido Reunites with Daughter Imade Amid Custody Drama
In the midst of an intense and emotional custody battle, Nigerian music superstar Davido has reunited with his first daughter, Imade Adeleke, in what he described as the “best day of my life.”
The heartfelt reunion comes months after a court case between Davido and his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, made headlines across the country. In April 2024, Davido had approached the Lagos State High Court, accusing Sophia of denying him access to their daughter and subsequently seeking custody through legal means.
Sophia, in response, filed a 102-paragraph counter-affidavit, accusing the singer of neglecting his fatherly responsibilities since their romantic relationship ended. The legal feud sent social media into a frenzy, dividing fans and drawing public commentary from high-profile personalities, including Dele Momodu, Sophia’s uncle, who disclosed via Facebook that the case had been moved to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for a peaceful settlement.
But on Wednesday night, the narrative took a heartwarming turn as Davido posted a photo of himself with young Imade, captioning it simply:
“Best day of my life.” 💖
💭 Opinion: Love Should Win, Always
This reunion isn’t just a celebrity headline — it’s a hopeful moment for many Nigerian parents navigating co-parenting in the spotlight or behind closed doors. No matter the fame or fortune, the emotional toll of family disputes, especially involving children, is universal.
It’s encouraging to see Davido and Imade back together. Whether or not legal issues remain, this reunion sends a powerful message: children deserve both parents, and every effort should be made to preserve those bonds — for their well-being above all.
The move to ADR is also a step in the right direction. Public court battles often do more harm than good, especially for young minds caught in the middle. Let’s hope both parties keep the child’s happiness at the heart of every decision moving forward.
📸 What are your thoughts on the reunion? Should celebrity custody battles be made private to protect the kids involved?
