Davido started showing interest in Imade after Ifeanyi’s death, says Sophia
Sophia Momodu has claimed that Davido became interested in Imade, their daughter, after the death of Ifeanyi Adeleke, his son with his wife Chioma.
Ifeanyi died in October 2022. He drowned in a pool at the singer’s Lagos home.
In the past months, Davido and Sophia have been fighting — through their lawyers — over the custody of Imade.
Davido filed a motion through Olaniyi Arije and Okey Barrah at the Lagos high court on April 17, seeking the court’s order granting him “unfettered and unrestricted access” to Imade, aged nine.
The singer said he has been responsible for Imade’s education, housing, transportation, living expenses, health care, and periodic travel.
He also alleged that Sophia has been causing him “emotional distress” with her “utopian” demands. He claimed she also once denied him access to their daughter for nearly two years.
In her response to the lawsuit, Sophia argued that she has never denied Davido access to their daughter.
She also claimed Davido “repeatedly threatened” to make her life “miserable” if she did not make herself “available to him sexually”.
In a recent court document, Sophia said Imade became “emotionally distraught” when she learnt about Ifeanyi’s death and the “serial abandonment by her father”.
She also claimed that the singer “became suddenly interested” in Imade after the demise of Ifeanyi.
Sophia, in the document, said she suggested that Davido and Imade jointly attend therapy sessions to “restore their bond”.
“That contrary to paragraph 23 of the affidavit in support of the Originating Motion, after the Applicant who had absented himself for about two (2) years from our daughter during which period our daughter learned of the death of her two (2) year old brother Ifeanyi Adeleke, she became quite emotionally distraught and needed therapy to deal with the death of her brother and the serial abandonment by her father. Therefore, when the Applicant suddenly indicated an interest in being part of her life, I advised that the Applicant jointly attend the therapy session with her to help restore their relationship and restore her confidence in herself,” the document reads in part.
“That the mental state and safety of our daughter are paramount to me as the Applicant’s serial abandonment of our daughter has continued to take its toll on her and greatly affected her psychological well-being.”
Sophia earlier alleged that Davido once connived with his sisters to kidnap Imade.

In a recent post on his Instastory, the Grammy winner expressed frustration at being criticised for reacting to issues, while his attackers go unchecked.

The hitmaker also warned his critics not to mistake his silence for weakness.

I earn more from car wash business than music, says Jason Derulo
Jason Derulo, the American singer, says he earns more from his car washing business than music.
Derulo, who owns a car wash business called Rocket CarWash, shared in an interview that the venture has become more profitable than his music career.
He said he did not expect the business to be so successful, especially since he has never advertised it.
He added that Rocket CarWash is a unique glass-walled facility where customers can watch the car washing process as if it were a show.
“It’s true that I make more money from my car washing business than my music. It’s pretty crazy. It’s something that I didn’t expect at all. I got into it, I thought that it would be good but I didn’t think that was going to be a life-changing event,” he said.
“You know what’s crazy? I have never even advertised my car washing business. It’s pretty amazing. It’s a super car wash. It’s not like the ones you’re probably used to. It’s all glass so when your car is being washed, everybody can see the action. It’s like a show.”
Derulo is best known for hits like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’.
