Davido And Sophia Momodu’s Child Custody Battle

Davido and Sophia Momodu’s child custody battle has been ongoing since April 2024, with Davido seeking joint custody of their daughter, Imade.

The singer had initially filed a suit at the Lagos State High Court, claiming Sophia Momodu had denied him access to their child.

However, Sophia has countered that Davido hasn’t seen Imade since July 2022 and has failed to fulfill his financial obligations, leaving her to cover expenses including school fees and rent.

The situation escalated when Davido withdrew the case, citing an unpleasant comment from Sophia’s lawyer referencing his late son, Ifeanyi, during court proceedings.
