Sophia Momodu's legal response to Davido's custody petition raises concerns over their daughter's welfare amidst Davido's controversial lifestyle.

Sophia Momodu has responded to Davido's custody petition for their daughter Imade, filed at the Lagos State High Court, citing concerns over Davido's lifestyle and its impact on their child. She highlighted that their relationship had ended years ago, but the legal battle has now escalated due to Davido's request for joint custody or unrestricted access to Imade.
The case, marked LD/1587PMC/2024, includes a 44-paragraph affidavit from Davido himself, outlining his financial support for Imade's education and accommodation. Davido claimed to have offered Sophia a N200 million apartment, which she declined, opting for an annual rent contribution instead.

She specifically mentioned the tragic death of Davido's son, Ifeanyi, and expressed concerns about potential trauma for Imade in such an environment. This aspect of the case has drawn significant attention from the public, with Nigerians divided in their reactions. Some support Sophia's protective stance, arguing for Imade's emotional stability, while others criticize airing personal disputes publicly.
