Sophia Momodu has accused Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, of harassment and neglect of his parental responsibilities to their daughter, Imade Adeleke.
Sophia also accused the singer of pressuring her for s3x despite his public relationship with Chioma.
The accusation was made in a statement issued by her legal representatives, Punuka Attorneys & Solicitors and Bimpe Ajegbomogun & Co.
This followed a suit filed by Davido seeking unrestricted access to their daughter.
The singer claimed to have fulfilled his responsibilities towards Imade, including paying her school fees and providing transportation and accommodation.
However, Sophia refuted the claims saying Davido had not fulfilled his financial responsibilities to Imade since 2022.
According to her, Davido repeatedly threatened to make her life miserable if she did not make her body available to him.
The statement read, “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.
“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.”
