Davido Erupts On Social Media, Labels Sophia Momodu’s Lawyer ‘Wicked’ Amid Custody Exit

Nigerian music superstar Davido Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has publicly called out the lawyer representing his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu, following a recent court session over joint custody of their daughter, Imade Adeleke.

Tensions flared in court when Sophia’s lawyer questioned how Davido could ensure Imade’s safety, citing his inability to protect his late son, Ifeanyi, who passed away in October 2022.

The comment reportedly provoked Davido, who lost his composure and confronted the lawyer during the hearing. Court proceedings were temporarily paused, and when the session resumed, the judge requested that Davido apologize to both the court and the lawyer. The singer, however, refused, maintaining that he could not apologize for the lawyer’s use of his deceased son against him.

Taking to social media after the hearing, Davido accused the lawyer of unprofessionalism and described the reference to his late son as deeply insensitive, given the pain he and his wife endured.

He further labeled the lawyer a “wicked human being,” asserting that he had bested her during the courtroom exchange.

Davido posted, “@belachukwu I disgraced you in the courtroom. I was teaching you your work, and you couldn’t even handle it. Then you went on to mention my son… like I said in court, I pray you never go through what my wife and I have gone through. And you were still smiling and smirking… You are a wicked human being. You are the worst lawyer ever. I beat you in court! You are not learned.”
