  • Davido’s Baby Mamas and Children

    Davido’s Baby Mamas and Children

    Nigerian Afrobeat gem Davido had advanced in several dimensions to attain a highly profiled status, attributed to his rare unique qualities and energy.

    From the point of consistency, he holds a great barrier to greatness, overcoming what seemed to be a toll of efficient reach to success. To date, he did not only breach unexpected feats but also effortlessly reformed his influence, attracting every good peak at all aspects, including women.

    From this view, he would dine with multiple women, with most resorting to be the mother of his children. Despite recently tying the knot with Chioma Avril, Davido embodies the profile with one of the Nigerian music stars with the most Baby Mamas, welcoming five children from different women, most identified as his Baby Mamas.

    The Nigerian music maestro also has embraced his fatherhood, locking in with his responsibility, providing for his children most often at a higher rank.

    Davido’s Baby Mamas and children

    Sophia Momodu

    Sophia Momodu is the first Baby Mama of Davido and the mother of his first child Imade Adeleke.

    The two linked up at the early phase of Davido’s career. While the exact date the two met can’t be accurately determined, Davido’s slight relationship with Sophia Momodu resulted in an outcome that would change their lives.

    In 2015, the two indulged in a heated clash after Davido battled for a DNA clarification. Despite accepting his fatherhood responsibility, Davido and Sophia  Momodu battled for child custody, which spanned for years.

    Relationship between Davido and Sophia Momodu has overly been tagged offensive and cruel, following how they can’t maintain a rigid bond. However, the two would settle their dispute in 2020, dating until 2022 when they reintroduced their child custody battle.

    Sophia momodu insisted that Davido should conform to her one sided custody, featuring responsibilities attributed to multi-million tasks. Davido in the other view wants equal rights to legal child custody. This rested in the both parents agreeing on their personal choices. Currently, the two don’t even share a mother and father relationship for their child again after Davido refused to conform to Sophia’s request.

    Davido will have to wait until Imade Adeleke turn 18 before he can set his eyes on her again per several sources. This is to counter on Sophia Momodu’s obliged child custody. In the other view, Sophia has also vowed to keep Imade away from Davido if he will not abide to her request.

    Despite the view of this, Davido still make effort to deploy his father’s love to Imade as seen in her recent birthday celebration.

    Amanda

    The Atlanta based lady Amanda became Davido’s official second Baby Mama after welcoming his second child and daughter  Hailey Adeleke.

    Amanda is identified as Davido’s most composed Baby Mama following how she didn’t impose drama with the singer.

    Per several sources, the “Gobe” crooner was dating Amanda secretly until it yielded a fruitful outcome in 2017 after she became pregnant. They would split and maintain parental relationship after welcoming Hailey. Hailey Veronica Adeleke was welcomed on 9th May 2017.

    With possible marital rumours at its peak, Amanda pubicly debunked and confirmed she will not be marrying Davido, maintaining that they are no longer romantically inclined. However, unlike Sophia Momodu, the two maintains a rigid parental relationship because of their daughter, Hailey Adeleke. Also, Davido has made most of his responsibilities, providing for Hailey when needed.

    Chioma Rowland Avril 

    While Chioma Rowland Avril was the third woman to have Davido’s child, she is now married to the singer.

    The highly profiled Chef met Davido in 2013 while both schooled at Babcock University. According to Davido, he approached Chioma commonly as every men does even before the fame but she didn’t offer to confide with his feelings until 2015 when they officially started dating.

    Their relationship would be on and off until it stablised after they welcomed their now deceased son Ifeanyi Adeleke, who emerged to be Davido’s third child.

    Tragically, Ifeanyi Adeleke’s death triggered even an advanced view of mixed feelings. Perhaps, the two love birds utilised their emotion into marital context. Davido and Chioma Rowland Avril tied the knot on 24th June 2024 after they had secretly indulged in a court wedding.

    Meanwhile after their court wedding in 2023, Davido and Chioma welcomed their twin, confirmed a boy and a girl. However, their identity are yet to be known to the public.

    Davido and Chioma’s relationship hasn’t been overly stable from the past years but the two has reformed their understanding welcoming three children, including deceased Ifeanyi Adeleke and tying the knot.

    Larrisa London

    Larrisa London is the official fourth Baby Mama of Davido and the mother of his second son, Dawson Adeleke.

    The UK based makeup artist linked up with Davido at a nightclub club in America. They romantically linked up, yielding their son, Dawson Adeleke who was welcomed in 2020.

    As expected, Davido wouldn’t accept Dawson seemingly without a slight controversy. This involved a paternity saga between the Makeup artist and the Nigerian singer.

    When Dawson was welcomed in 2020, with all fingers directed at Davido, he didn’t publicly accept Dawson rather he blocked Larrisa. However, a proven DNA test swerved his instinct. Still he didn’t acknowledge him pubicly until 2022 when he announced having another son Dawson. In 2023, Davido also acknowledged Dawson during an interview where he announced to the world he had a son with a makeup artist.

    Regardless, Larrisa has maintained a serious parental relationship with Davido, adding to the numbers of his women affairs.

    Since his first glance to fatherhood with Sophia Momodu transpired and welcoming, Imade Adeleke, the Afrobeat singer has welcomed six children, including his deceased son Ifeanyi Adeleke.

    Meanwhile, away from his official women, including his wife, Davido has faced multiple paternity saga that has remained active to date. Enormous number of women has accused him of being the father of their children. However, Davido has denied all claims with many resisting to succumb to reality. One of the recent accuser was an American model who claimed Davido impregnated her and forced her to abort it. She admitted to have had multiple affairs with the singer.

    “Stop wearing fake shit” – Davido’s elder brother Adewale with a message for the general public

    Davido’s elder brother Adewale Adeleke is issuing a stern warning to the general public, with regards to the use of fake designer items.

    In his tweet, Adewale spoke about how it is unwise for people to wear fake designers because they’re easy to spot.

    Adewale Adeleke’s post came without any prior prompting, which has led netizens to wonder who he was throwing shade at, or if it is just a regular PSA.

    Another set of netizens were more concerned with the fact that he was talking down on people who can’t afford original designers, and they dragged him mercilessly.

When fake brands start receiving the same level of attention, they also become significant-it’s all about perspective. Focusing too much on these things can reveal a lot about a personality. Honestly, if you’ve ever visited “Mandelas Lagos,” you’d be surprised by the quality of the fakes or imitations there, and you might
    even be tempted to buy one. Don’t overthink fashion. Wear what suits you, brings you peace, and fits your budget.”

     

  • “You are all online noisemakers, you don’t say anything when you see him” – Israel DMW slams Samklef, others over the disrespect on Davido

    “You are all online noisemakers, you don’t say anything when you see him” – Israel DMW slams Samklef, others over the disrespect on Davido

    Israel DMW, the logistics manager to music star Davido,, has slammed Samklef and others over their opinion on the constant disrespect to Davido.

    On Monday, Davido was called out by a Nigerian YouTuber, Korty EO, who expressed displeasure over how she had asked for permission to re-edit an old interview with Davido, which his team agreed to post for her. However, things did not go as planned after they reneged on their word, which prompted her to vent out on social media.

    Weighing into it, popular skit maker Nasty Blaq cried out over the constant disrespect to the music star. He noted how Davido just wants to help people and yet gets disrespected.

    Reacting to Nasty’s tweet, Samklef noted how Olamide has helped more people in the industry than Davido, yet doesn’t get disrespected. He said the singer brought it to himself as he is always trying to look good in the eyes of everybody. Admonishing the singer to stop playing victims, he claimed that Davido helps people based on expectations and control.

    Taking to a blog’s comment section, Israel DMW called Samklef and others online noise makers, as he noted how they can’t say anything when they see Davido.

    “You all are online noise makers. They don’t say anything when they see Oga”.

    Recall that Samklef fell out with Davido in October, 2023 after the singer accused him of leaking photos of his wife, Chioma, and their twins, which Samklef denied. Angered by Davido’s action, Samklef had taken several shots at Davido, over accusations of him owing people, referring to Davido as “owe owe 1,” a play on Davido’s signature “001”, indirectly labeling him as a beggar and advised him to look up to his rival, Wizkid.

    Samklef even went as low as comparing the music star to Portable’s former signee, Yung Dee, and gave him further suggestions.

    Surprisingly, he appeared to have ended his feud with Davido, as he called on him to start making amends and apologize to those he’s allegedly wronged. Samklef pointed out that Davido had once publicly insulted his uncle, Dele Momodu, because of a financial dispute. He also accused Davido of accepting money from the NFF chairman while continuing to taunt and belittle the eldërly man and more.
