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.

Davido shuns Wizkid’s rants, unveils second Puma collection
Davido, the Afrobeats star, has unveiled his second collection with sportswear giant Puma at the brand’s flagship store in New York.
The partnership, announced last year, has yielded two successful collections — the first in April — with the latest featuring sportswear items such as t-shirts, sneakers, jackets, and bags.
At the launch event, hosted by Rolling Stone reporter Mankaprr Conteh, Davido shared his humble beginnings, saying his initial goal was to have his music played on Nigerian radio.
On the second collection, the singer said: “You know the first collection, we were just testing the waters. Because it was a risk for them. Yes, people love my music, but it is different from people love your music and people buy your products”.
The development comes at about the same time when Wizkid reignited their rift — after Davido announced his first single of 2024.
The ‘Made In Lagos’ hitmaker also taunted Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle who is governor of Osun state.
Responding to one of Davido’s supporters, Wizkid claimed he declined the deal Puma offered him because “they could no longer afford to pay me”.
”U idiot! I turned down Puma cos they could no longer afford to pay me cos I wanted more! Don’t need dat! Way bigger than every artiste u just mentioned! Not jealous ! love em all…With ur dirty ass shirt! Idiot!” Wizkid wrote on X.
Wizkid argued that rejecting the offer showed he was bigger than the ‘Unavailable’ hitmaker.
Davido, who has been active on social media, appeared to have ignored Wizkid, with the former failing to respond to the latter’s tweets.

‘You don’t see my uncle dancing online’ — Wizkid taunts Davido, Adeleke
The long-standing feud between Wizkid and Davido seems far from over with the former taunting the latter’s family member.
The ‘Made In Lagos’ hitmaker reignited their rift on Tuesday after Davido announced his first single of 2024.
The ‘Assurance’ singer revealed the track will be in celebration of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day.
Wizkid responded with criticism, questioning Davido’s talent and comparing their musical catalogues.
In a fresh rant on X, Wizkid taunted Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle fondly called the ‘dancing governor’.
Wizkid mocked the Osun governor for his numerous dance videos online. He also implied that the Adeleke family “lacks a proper upbringing”.
“When you see people wey dem papa and family train you go know! You don’t see my uncle dancing online,” he wrote in Pidgin English.
When u see people wey dem papa and family train u go know! U don’t see my uncle dancing online ! 😎❤️

Davido, who has been active on social media, appeared to have ignored Wizkid, with the former failing to respond to the latter’s tweets.
In May, a fight ensued between Davido and Wizkid on X after the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker mocked him and Don Jazzy, the Mavin Records head honcho.
Wizkid referred to Don Jazzy as an “influencer” while taunting Davido with a video of him on his knees, pleading and crying after a fan asked him to release new music.
The singer’s posts attracted criticism from a segment of social media users, including celebrities.
Davido also retaliated, labeling Wizkid’s career as “dead”.

Wizkid has reignited his long-standing rivalry with Davido, sparking a heated exchange with fans on social media.
The drama started on Tuesday after Davido announced his first single of 2024. The singer revealed the track will be a hit celebrating Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day.
However, the ‘Ojuelegba’ hitmaker, who seemed unimpressed, took to his X page to write: “P***y boys dropping mid again,” adding, “Una don tire! Make una go rest small! 🦅”.
Una don tire! Make una go rest small! 🦅

Although he did not mention the name of his colleague, fans interpreted the tweet as a direct shot at Davido.
A fan of Davido, however, fired back, accusing Wizkid of chasing clout using the name of the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker.
The user wrote: “So if you no beef @davido your song won’t sell??” Responding, Wizkid said: “I don’t beef wack niggas! We all know he’s wack! No talent! 🦅”

Still unsatisfied, Wizkid dismissed Davido’s extensive discography as “trash,” arguing that his catalogue boasts superior songs.
He continued: “80 trash ! We got 80 albums for any song y’all drop! P***y boys! ❤️🦅.”
Davido, who is also active on social media, appeared to have ignored Wizkid, with the former failing to respond to the latter’s tweets.
