Israel DMW Blasts Sophia Momodu’s Lawyer Amid Davido Custody Drama

Davido’s aide, Israel DMW, has joined the growing reactions surrounding the singer’s recent child custody proceedings with his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu.

The controversy followed reports that Davido lost his temper during a court session in Yaba while undergoing cross-examination. Lawyer Maruf Muhammed had alleged on social media that the singer created tension in the courtroom during the hearing.

However, Davido later clarified his position, stating that he never requested full custody of his daughter but rather sought joint custody. In a surprising turn, he also announced that he had decided to withdraw the case, expressing hope that his daughter would grow up knowing he fought for her.

Reacting to the situation, Israel DMW took to Instagram in a now-deleted story to criticize Sophia’s lawyer, using strong words while advising the public to be cautious of people who appear overly religious but may act differently behind the scenes. His remarks quickly attracted attention online, further fueling public debate around the already sensitive family matter.

Opinion: When Private Battles Become Public Spectacles

Celebrity custody disputes often carry emotional weight, but when they spill into the public domain, they can easily become distractions from the real issue — the child’s welfare. While fans may take sides based on loyalty, the most important consideration should always remain the well-being and stability of the child involved.

Davido’s decision to step back from the legal fight may signal a desire to reduce tension and prioritize peace, which many observers view as a mature move. However, the involvement of friends, aides, and social media commentary risks escalating conflicts that should ideally be handled privately.

There is also a broader lesson here about influence and responsibility. Public figures and those around them shape narratives that millions watch. Choosing restraint over emotional reactions can often protect not just reputations but also families.

Ultimately, beyond the headlines and online debates, the hope is that both parents can find common ground — because in situations like this, cooperation is usually more powerful than confrontation.
