In the ongoing custody battle between Davido and his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, Momodu has responded to Davido’s lawsuit seeking joint custody of their daughter, Imade.

The proceedings took place at Justice Bashua’s family court in Yaba, Lagos State on July 5, 2024.

Davido, in his suit filed on April 17, 2024, accused Momodu of obstructing his access to Imade despite fulfilling his parental duties, such as paying school fees and providing financial support. He claimed Momodu's demands were designed to prevent him from seeing his daughter.

In response, Momodu alleged that Davido had neglected Imade for the past two years, failing to meet his financial responsibilities. Her legal team, led by Anthony SAN, presented six arguments to the court against granting Davido custody:

Davido's controversial lifestyle attracts negative media attention, potentially exposing Imade to trauma.Davido's frequent travel as an artist and the presence of unsavory individuals in his environment may negatively influence Imade.

Momodu advocates for child therapy to bridge the gap caused by Davido's absence in Imade's life.

Due to Davido's career demands and marital status, Momodu questions his ability to provide consistent care.

Momodu expresses concern about Imade's upbringing in Davido's household, referencing a past unfortunate incident involving Davido's son.

Momodu's stance emphasizes her role in Imade's upbringing and argues against Davido's suitability for joint custody based on these grounds.
