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.

Deji Adeleke denies Davido fathered 12 year old Ibadan girl

Billionaire businessman Deji Adeleke has formally denied long running claims that his son, Afrobeats star Davido, is the father of a 12 year old girl named Anuoluwapo from Ibadan. He described the allegations as false and blamed years of misinformation and alleged impersonation by commentator Kemi Olunloyo.​ Adeleke said he has five children and 14 grandchildren and would gladly welcome another grandchild if paternity were ever confirmed. He explained that he decided to speak publicly because the same story resurfaces almost every year on social media.​ He traced the case back to 2014, when he received a DHL package from Ibadan containing photos of Davido and the child, a birth certificate naming “Adeleke David” as the father and a letter from the girl’s grandmother. The widow asked only for a DNA test to confirm paternity and responsibility, not marriage or […]
