Nigerian singer Davido has announced he is withdrawing from the custody battle with Sophia Momodu over their daughter, Imade, declaring that “nobody won, nobody lost but Imade.” In an emotional social media post, the artiste clarified he never sought full custody but requested joint custody. He expressed frustration with narratives suggesting victory in the dispute, stating:
“I don’t know why some people are celebrating… there’s nothing to celebrate.” Davido revealed he decided to drop the case after what he described as a “lowest blow” in court involving reference to his deceased son. He affirmed his priority remains his daughter’s future: “My daughter will grow up knowing I fought for her. Let’s move on, one love.”
Key Points:
The decision prioritises Imade’s emotional wellbeing over prolonged legal conflict between parents.
It ends a public spectacle that may have caused psychological strain on the young child.
Imade gains protection from further court battles, while both parents can focus on co-parenting.
This signals maturity and willingness to put child’s interests first despite personal differences.
The timing, after emotional court revelations, reflects a desire to shield family from further trauma.
Davido’s withdrawal opens the door for private co-parenting arrangements, prioritising Imade’s welfare over public legal contest.
