A new controversy surrounding Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has ignited widespread debate and discussion across social media platforms, drawing reactions from fans, critics, and social commentators alike.
The controversy centers on allegations made by a young girl claiming that Davido is her biological father and her request for a DNA test to confirm the paternity claim. The situation has prompted heated exchanges online, with varying opinions on the singer’s response and the legitimacy of the claim.
Social media post sparks reaction
The conversation gained traction after a social media user identified as The_Bearded_DrSina shared a post featuring a photo of the young girl. In the post, the user remarked:
“A daughter asking the father for a DNA test will really break and touch the father’s heart.”
Responding to the post, Davido reacted firmly, dismissing the paternity claim and denying any prior relationship with the girl’s mother. His response immediately caught the attention of thousands of users online, sparking debates about accountability and responsibility in celebrity-related controversies.
He wrote: “After 5 DNA test … she Dey craze … her and her mom better leave me the f**k alone and go find her papa …” This statement underlined his frustration and highlighted his insistence that he had no connection with the child’s mother outside the context of the DNA testing process.
Davido denies knowing the girl’s mother
The situation escalated when another social media user, Elizabeth, directly questioned Davido about his relationship with the girl’s mother, asking: “You knew the mom or not?? 😒😒”
In response, Davido reiterated that he had never met the woman prior to the DNA testing process. He criticized her actions, suggesting they were deliberate and misleading, and expressed anger over being repeatedly implicated in the matter despite having taken multiple tests to prove otherwise.
He wrote: “Never met the b*h … except when went for the DNA … very stupid behavior I will soon treat their FK … 5 fking hospitals just to be clear … the mom needs to go to jail … I don’t blame the poor girl …” His comments further fueled online debate, with some supporting his stance and others questioning the repeated testing and his reaction to the situation.
Daniel Regha questions Davido’s claims
The controversy drew commentary from social media commentator Daniel Regha, who expressed doubts regarding Davido’s explanation. Regha questioned the logic behind undergoing five DNA tests with someone he allegedly had never met, calling the situation unusual and worth further scrutiny.
Regha emphasized that if the woman was indeed lying, appropriate legal action should follow. He also highlighted the importance of personal responsibility and precaution, particularly in situations involving paternity claims and public figures.
He went on to stress empathy for the young girl, describing her as the innocent party caught in the middle of a dispute that had grown into a social media spectacle.
Regha’s post read: “Davido claims he has never met the mother of the girl who’s asking for a DNA test now, except when they went to the hospital; But why will u repeatedly go for a DNA tests five times if u never met someone before? That’s weird.
“If truly the lady is/was lying, legal action should be taken. That said, this is why it’s good to practice abstinence, so no-one can point accusing fingers and u will 100% confident when speaking. I feel sorry for the girl.”
The post and subsequent discussions have highlighted several broader issues, including the challenges celebrities face with public accusations, the role of social media in amplifying private disputes, and the importance of maintaining transparency and responsibility in sensitive matters.
