Davido reunites with daughter Imade amid ongoing custody dispute

DDM News

A touching moment occurred on Wednesday evening when Davido reunited with his daughter, Imade Adeleke.

The reunion followed a lengthy and emotional custody battle that had lasted for over a year, Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathers.

Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, shared a joyful photo of himself and Imade on social media.

He captioned the image, “Best day of my life,” signaling the deep emotional significance behind the moment.

The photo quickly went viral, drawing reactions from fans, celebrities, and the general public across various platforms.

In April 2024, Davido filed a lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court against his former partner, Sophia Momodu.

He accused Sophia of deliberately keeping Imade away from him and demanded custody or regulated visitation rights.

Sophia responded with a detailed 102-paragraph counter-affidavit strongly opposing Davido’s claims and presenting her side.

She alleged that Davido neglected his fatherly duties after their romantic relationship came to an end.

Sophia insisted her decisions were based on protecting Imade’s emotional and physical well-being, not on personal grudges.

The matter drew more attention when veteran journalist and Sophia’s uncle, Dele Momodu, publicly weighed in.

Dele Momodu revealed that the court had recommended the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve issues.

ADR encourages dialogue and mutual agreement rather than prolonged and hostile legal proceedings in sensitive family cases.

Official details of the ADR process have not been disclosed by either party involved in the dispute.

However, Davido’s jubilant post featuring a smiling Imade has fueled public speculation of private progress.

Fans interpreted the moment as a positive shift in what had been a tense and emotional conflict.

Thousands of followers flooded the comment section with congratulatory messages and words of encouragement.

Many expressed hope that both parents are now working toward a healthier co-parenting arrangement for Imade’s sake.

The post also sparked broader conversations about celebrity parenting and the emotional impact on children.

Some social media users praised Davido and Sophia for showing signs of compromise and cooperation.

While no formal custody agreement has been announced, the reunion suggests possible reconciliation or new understanding.

For Davido, the image and message conveyed a rare moment of vulnerability and deep parental affection.

The joyful expression on Imade’s face further softened public opinion and inspired emotional reactions nationwide.

Observers continue to monitor the situation closely, hoping for more peaceful developments in the near future.

Though challenges remain, this reunion may mark the beginning of a better path for both parents and child.
