Sophia Momodu threatens to sue Davido over cyberbullying and harassment
Sophia Momodu, the baby mama of Davido, has threatened to take legal action against the singer over the alleged threat to life, cyberbullying, and harassment.
Sophia is the mother of Imade, Davido’s child.
The entrepreneur through Punuka Attorneys and Solicitors, her lawyers, issued a cease and desist letter to Davido’s legal representatives, accusing him of defamation and sponsoring negative publications about her.
In the letter, Sophia alleged that Davido continued to attack her personality online despite a previous letter issued to him, warning him to stop.
It added that should any harm befall Sophia, the singer should be “held responsible”.
“We write further to our email under reference regarding the conduct of Mr David Adeleke towards our client which amounts to cyberbullying, harassment and threats to the life of our client, Ms. Sophia Momodu, and her close associates,” it reads.
“This is in addition to several defamatory remarks and publications sponsored against the person of Ms. Sophia Momodu by your client through different social media blogs. Not only are this conduct and the actions of your client condemnable as they not only violate our client’s constitutionally guaranteed rights, but they also go against the principles of decency and respect.
“The gross lawlessness exhibited by your client and serial threats issued to our client’s associates resulted in the petition dated 9th of January 2024 which is currently being investigated by the Police. The Petition is hereby attached as Annexure A.
“It is shocking that notwithstanding our earlier email to your good self which was not responded to and the Petition against your client currently being investigated by the Police, your client has continued with his disruptive and unlawful conduct. Our client in the last couple of days has been subjected to a series of coordinated attacks and cyberbullying orchestrated by your client and his cohorts.
“We are again by this letter reiterating our position expressed in our earlier email that your client would be held responsible for any harm that may befall our client as such will be a clear manifestation of the threats and premedicated ambitions of your client.
“We again hope you will prevail on your client, either by himself or through his cohorts to cease, desist, and restrain from any such conduct that constitutes further threats, harassment, or cyberbullying and intimidation of our client and her associates. Evidence of coordinated attacks is hereby attached as Annexure B.
“Additionally, it is important to emphasize that your client’s behaviour and actions are impeding our efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution concerning the arrangements for the care and welfare of Imade which is of paramount importance.”
The letter added that “unless Davido discontinues the acts of threats and harassment and cyberbullying against our client within the next 48 hours, our client retains the right to pursue all available legal remedies”.
Sophia’s letter comes barely a few days after Tiwa Savage also filed a petition against Davido, detailing alleged harassment and previous bodily harm.

Helen Ukpabio demands N200bn damages in defamation suit against Bloody Civilian
Helen Ukpabio, the founder of Liberty Gospel Church, has demanded N200 billion in damages from the singer Bloody Civilian after the latter alleged that she encourages child lynching.
Earlier on Friday, Bloody Civilian, born Emoseh Khamofu, had alleged that Ukpabio “literally made people burn their children alive”.
Khamofu commented on a post celebrating the cleric’s 60th birthday.
She also posted a YouTube documentary wherein Ukpabio’s methods and ideology were criticised.
Reacting to her tweet, Imabong, Ukpabio’s daughter, threatened to take legal action against Khamofu if she didn’t delete the post.
“I give you the next five hours to take this down, or I will educate you in court!” Imabong wrote.
But in a letter from her legal representative, Ukpabio described the allegations as “reckless, satanic, and libellous”.
She demanded that the singer issue a retraction and public apology on all social media platforms and ten national and international dailies within 72 hours.
The cleric also requested that the singer pay N200 billion as “damages for distress, trauma, pain and anguish”.
The letter added that the demands must be met in 72 hours.
She claimed the allegations had been investigated by the police and have been concluded to be “grossly false”.
“Our client’s attention has been drawn to your reckless, satanic, and libellous posts on X (formerly Twitter), one of the world’s largest social media platforms,” the letter reads in part.
Responding to the letter, Blood Civilian made light of it by teasing that she is offering other services like comedy to afford the damages.
“This December I will be adding the following to my services: weddings, standup comedy and settling disputes,” she wrote.

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface
Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.
Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.
In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.
The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.
“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.
“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”
In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.
He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.
“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.
Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.
In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday
Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.
The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.
They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.
Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.
Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.
He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.
