Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is experiencing a wave of fatherly joy after reuniting with his first daughter, Imade Adeleke.
The heartfelt moment comes amid an ongoing legal battle with her mother, Sophia Momodu, over custody rights.
On Wednesday, Davido took to his Instagram Stories to share a touching photo of himself with 10-year-old Imade. The pair were all smiles, radiating happiness and warmth. He also posted a screenshot of a FaceTime call involving Imade and his second daughter, Hailey, offering fans a glimpse into the special family moment.
Accompanying the posts was a short but powerful caption: “Best day of my life.”This reunion marks a significant development in what has been a turbulent custody dispute that began in 2022.
In June 2023, Davido filed a lawsuit seeking joint custody of Imade. He alleged that Sophia had been preventing him from seeing their daughter while also making what he described as excessive financial demands claims she strongly denied.
In response, Sophia filed a counter affidavit, opposing Davido’s custody request. She cited concerns about his lifestyle and referenced the tragic death of his son, Ifeanyi, as reasons he should not be granted custody.
The situation grew more strained after Davido reignited his relationship with Chioma Rowland, now his wife. Sophia further accused the singer of financial manipulation and of using access to Imade as a tool for control.
Despite the ongoing drama, Davido’s recent reunion with Imade is a breath of fresh air not only for him, but also for fans who have followed his personal journey. The touching family moment reminds many of the power of love, reconciliation, and the enduring bond between a father and his daughter.
