Afrobeats super star David Adeleke a.k.a Davido has been accused by his baby mama Sophia Momodu, of threatening her with financial blockade if she failed to submit herself for sex.
Ms Momodu who was responding to Davido’s recent lawsuit for joint custody of their daughter Imade made the disclosure in a statement made available by her legal counsel. Davido in his court filing had submitted that he provided school fees, accommodation and transportation for Imade.
“Sophia ended the relationship with David in July 2022. Since then, David has repeatedly threatened to make Sophia’s life miserable if she does not make herself available to him sexually,” said the statement by Ms Momodu’s lawyers
“Sophia has never denied him the opportunity to see his daughter. He has not reached out on special occasions such as her birthday or Christmas for the past two years, which has left his daughter distressed and questioning why her father has cut contact with her. Despite this, David posts images of her on social media to falsely portray himself as a supportive and active father.
“Since July 2022, David has not fulfilled his financial responsibilities towards their daughter, leaving her school fees unpaid. Their daughter’s school has contacted him multiple times regarding the fees for the 2021/2022 school term and January 2023, with no response.
“Legal counsel was sought in February 2023, resulting in David’s father, Mr Adedeji Adeleke, eventually paying the outstanding fees. Regardless of this neglect Sophia strongly maintains that the most important support David can provide to their daughter is his presence and emotional support.
“David is in a publicly known relationship, and Sophia wishes him well. She seeks to move forward in her life free from harassment and verbal abuse.”
