Davido withdraws custody case over daughter Imade

Afrobeats star Davido has withdrawn his court case seeking joint custody of his first daughter, Imade Adeleke, with her mother, Sophia Momodu. The decision came after a tense court session in Lagos where his late son, Ifeanyi, was mentioned during arguments. Davido had filed the suit in 2024 at the Lagos State High Court in Yaba, asking for joint custody and unfettered access to Imade. He claimed he had been denied regular access to his daughter despite providing financial support for her welfare. During the most recent hearing, Momodu’s lawyer reportedly questioned Davido about the safety of his children, referring to the death of his son Ifeanyi in 2022. The singer later described the comment as a “low blow” and said it deeply hurt him and his family. In a statement shared on social media, Davido said he had decided […]

Davido apologises to Tosinbee over custody case mix-up

Afrobeats star Davido has apologised to gospel singer Tosinbee after wrongly linking him to a lawyer involved in his ongoing child custody battle. The mix-up started after a tense court session over the custody of Davido’s daughter, Imade, involving his estranged partner, Sophia Momodu. Following the hearing at the Lagos State High Court, Davido went on social media to criticise one of Sophia’s lawyers. In the process, he reshared a post by Tosinbee, apparently assuming the singer was the lawyer’s son, and used harsh words against him. Tosinbee quickly clarified that he had no connection to the lawyer or the custody case. He explained that his mother died eight years ago and described the situation as a simple case of mistaken identity while offering prayers and goodwill to Davido. After Tosinbee’s explanation, Davido admitted the error and issued a brief […]

2Baba: Burna Boy ahead of Wizkid, Davido locally and globally

Nigerian music legend 2Baba has hailed Burna Boy as the leading Afrobeats star of the moment, saying he currently operates on a different level from peers like Wizkid and Davido. Speaking on the ‘Mic On’ podcast, 2Baba said he enjoys music from all three but, if forced to choose, he sees Burna Boy as “on the top of the game right now.” He likened judging artists to comparing painters with different styles and stressed that such rankings are ultimately a matter of taste. He explained that his view is based on his understanding of the global music landscape rather than the artists’ personal wealth or private achievements, which he said he cannot measure. According to him, Burna Boy currently tops the chain not just in Nigeria but across Africa and even on the world stage. 2Baba added that there is […]

Davido explains why he rarely goes to clubs now

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, says he now rarely goes to clubs because he is more focused on his family, rest and a calmer lifestyle.​ He explained on The LongForm Podcast that having fame, money and influence at a young age had pushed him into a hectic nightlife in his early career.

He now prefers staying at home, spending time with loved ones or talking to his wife online when he is away rather than hanging out in clubs.​ He described a recent two month stay in Nigeria when he did not go out at night but instead relaxed at home, visited his studio and invited friends over […]

GRAMMY 2026: I once thought Davido didn’t like me – Omah Lay

Afrobeats star Omah Lay has revealed that he once believed Davido did not like him, a misconception later cleared up before they created their Grammy‑nominated song “With You.” Speaking on the GRAMMY 2026 red carpet with OkayAfrica, Omah Lay said his perception changed after he watched a clip of Davido reacting warmly to his music at a time when he was going through a difficult period personally. “I was in the house, really, and I was going through it when I saw it, and I lost my mind,” he recalled. He admitted he had previously assumed there was tension between them. “It was the fact that I didn’t know Davido was like that. I thought we had a beef. I thought he didn’t like me,” he said. According to Omah Lay, once they finally connected, the misunderstanding disappeared quickly. “It […]
