Sophia Momodu, the mother of Davido’s first child, has sparked reactions on social media after throwing shade at the singer. Reflecting on a past trip to Disneyland with her daughter Imade, Sophia suggested that Davido had broken a promise to take Imade on such a trip, implying that only she can be relied upon to fulfill promises to her child.
The social media response has been varied:
– Atomaco Official commented, “That’s why Davido married Chioma—Chef Chi gives him peace of mind.”
– Peace Able40 wrote, “Davido dodged a bullet by not marrying Sophia, honestly.”
– Finest Boss Chickstated, “She needs to pay rent.”
– Manuel_11.59 joked, “She must have smoked something again.”
– Ireen_Muyembe added, “She needs to rest. It’s also her responsibility to fulfill her child’s wishes.”
– Osars_U remarked, “Imagine if this boy didn’t have money.”
– Word About Your Own Sin criticized, “It’s heartbreaking. Stop using your daughter as a means of living.”
Previously, Sophia had expressed frustration when Isreal DMW, Davido’s logistics manager, attributed the funding for Imade’s trip to Monaco to Davido, despite Sophia claiming she did not receive money from him. This led to a heated exchange and a private apology from Isreal DMW.
Tensions between Sophia and Davido escalated after he publicly declared his love for his now-wife, Chioma Rowland, and reconciled with her. Sophia expressed her anger through social media, including a post comparing herself to a cat refusing to tolerate disrespect from a dog, and later accused Davido of financial abuse.
In June, Davido sought joint custody of Imade, alleging that Sophia was denying him access and extorting money. Sophia contested this, citing the recent death of Davido’s son and other concerns as reasons she believed Davido was unfit to raise their daughter alone.
