A TikTok video shared by @legitngnews highlights a deepening rift between Sophia Momodu and Afrobeats star Davido over the custody of their daughter, Imade. Members of Sophia’s legal team and family have reportedly voiced concerns regarding the nature of the proceedings, emphasizing a stance against any form of perceived “power play” or abuse.
The dispute has recently regained public attention following a series of social media posts where figures close to Sophia expressed pride in her resilience. Meanwhile, legal representatives have allegedly warned that they will not tolerate any actions that undermine the child’s well-being or the mother’s rights during this sensitive period.
Davido has previously sought joint custody, but the ongoing back-and-forth in the Nigerian court system suggests that a resolution is not yet in sight. Fans remain divided, with many calling for a private settlement for the sake of their daughter.

Echotitbits take: This is a high-stakes battle that transcends mere gossip; it’s a public test of Nigeria’s family law system involving its biggest star. Given the vocal nature of both parties, expect more “leaked” details to surface as they both fight for the court of public opinion before the final verdict.
