For over a decade, this girl's mother has been saying that Davido is her father but Davido has been denying it. A few days ago, the girl who's now 13, took a bold step and sent Davido a DM telling him that he's her father and demanding a DNA test to prove her statement but Davido said so far, 5 DNA tests have been conducted and the results were all negative. The girl insisted that only one DNA test was done and the result was fake. He rebuked the girl and asked her to stop pestering him, otherwise he'd get her mother arrested. He also called her mother names which hurt the girl. Below are their statements;
DAVIDO TWEETED: Are you cr@zy? You and your mum should better go and look for your father and leave me alone. I have never met the b***h until we went for a DNA test. I did 5 DNA tests at 5 different hospitals. I chose 3 hospitals and they chose 2. All came out negative. Your mum needs to go to ja!l. This is the last time I will be speaking on this nons£nse. When I strike, nobody should b£g me.
ANU REPLIED: Dear Nigerians, My dad Mr David Adeleke replied me earlier this evening. I was devastated on the way he curs£d me out, bull!ed me and threaten£d to lock my mother up simply because I want to establish my identity. He also tweeted to the WORLD calling my mom "a b***h" he never met yet claiming he now had 5 (FIVE) DNA tests with me. First it was two, now it’s 5. He even said the last one was on my 10th birthday. According to my mom, we only went for one test which Chief Dr Deji Adeleke took us to which was FAK£.
ANU'S MOTHER POSTED: My name is Ayo Labinjoh. I am NOT Davido’s baby mama or a b***h. I am very protective of my daughter’s m£ntal health after the level of bully!ng she went through for years. David Adeleke has largely ignored me for years because he thought he picked up a prost!tute from GQClub in Ibadan. I was a waitress and not picked up on the streets. My daughter is trending on X because her dad needed to call me a b***h that he has never met yet he subject£d himself to a DNA test 5 times? Dr Deji Adeleke took us to a LAB not a hospital where Anu’s blood was taken in 2014 then discarded behind our backs and a fake result was printed.
MY OPINION: There are three sides to such cases; the accuser's statement, the accused's statement, and the truth. I find it weird that Anu's mother would consistently lie about Anu's paternity for over a decade. Naturally, a mother would give up after some time and finally tell her daughter the truth. It's unnatural for a mother to keep telling such a lie to her daughter for so many years. On the other hand, although Davido hasn't been a disciplined young man, which is evident from the number of baby mamas he has and the number of children he has out of wedlock, he isn't one to reject a child knowing that the child is his. He has proven that on several occasions which is why I have reasons to believe that Davido might either be innocent or mistaken. It's possible there's a big misunderstanding because Davido isn't known to reject his children, especially not such a gorgeous and intelligent girl whom any father should be proud of, which makes the situation very tricky.
It's a very sensitive matter because it involves a child who's not to blame in the entire situation. Every child deserves to know their roots and has the right to a father if the father is alive. I find it very absurd that a child is subjected to such a public rejection. No parent should do this to their child. Her friends are seeing all that's happening and it's detrimental to her mental health, self-worth and self-esteem.
The situation raises some questions which all parties involved should consider if they want to deal with the issue once and for all. The first question is was Davido directly involved in the entire DNA testing process or did he assign someone? Did he verify the results or did he just accept the results that were brought to him? After receiving the results, did he meet the doctor to confirm what he saw? The girl's mother mentioned one occasion where she met with Davido's father for a DNA test. She also mentioned that it was the only DNA test that was conducted. It's possible that the people Davido assigned to handle the DNA testing lied to him and his actions are based on that lie. It's also possible Davido instructed that the DNA test be conducted five times for certainty but only one was done and he's not aware.
MY SUGGESTION: Since the situation has been made public, I suggest that Davido agrees to another DNA test, and this time he should be directly involved in the entire DNA testing process and supervise the entire process, and if possible, go live on his official social media page and record the entire process. That will end the matter, restore the dignity of any of the parties who's been falsely accused, assure the child, expose the truth, and protect his integrity and public image. It's essential to handle this matter correctly because a child could be a parental mistake but never a divine mistake. Her identity must be made known to her and her mother owes her that.
It's extremely important for people to think before acting at all times. Youthful exuberance has ruined many lives. People, both youths and adults should be mindful of their actions and the implications of those actions. Having a one night stand without protection is extremely irresponsible and apart from the risk of an unwanted pregnancy, there's even a bigger health risk which shouldn't be ignored.
