- The drama deepens as an 11-year-old girl, claiming to be Davido’s daughter, breaks her silence in a viral video. Boldly identifying as an Adeleke, she thanked Kemi Olunloyo for years of support, adding fuel to the paternity saga.
- In a fiery response, Davido’s former lawyer dropped cryptic hints about DNA test results from two prestigious clinics, calling the claims into question.
Nigerian music icon David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has been thrust into yet another paternity drama after a young girl, Anu, publicly claimed to be his oldest daughter.
The 11-year-old, who identified herself as “Davido’s oldest daughter” in her Instagram bio, sent shockwaves across social media with a viral video.
In the clip, Anu claimed to be an Adeleke, expressed gratitude to her supporters for their gifts, revealed she had just turned 11, and confidently listed her achievements.
Her video caption also carried a heartfelt appreciation for investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo, whom she credited for standing by her side and supporting her through the years.

The claims reignited public interest in Davido’s personal life, with many speculating about the possibility of an undisclosed chapter in his story.
However, in a sharp rebuttal, Prince Ajudua, Davido’s former lawyer, dismissed Anu’s assertions. According to Ajudua, DNA tests conducted at two highly reputable clinics had conclusively determined that Davido was not Anu’s father.
He expressed frustration over the persistence of such claims, questioning the motives behind what he called a baseless narrative.
Prince wrote;
“Which Davido please? After DNA tests at not one but two reputable clinics (one which Dr. Deji insisted your family choose for peace of mind) years ago, you are still doing this.
“Why I’m never moved to comment publicly but this is extremely unfair to both the Adeleke’s and the child. Please give it a rest. Once again wish you and your family the best,”

Back in 2018, Kemi accused Davido of fathering a child with a woman named Ayotomide Labinjo, who she alleged was a one-night-stand prostitute. According to Kemi, the singer met Ayotomide after a February 2013 concert at a club in Ibadan, where she was reportedly working.
The media personality claimed Davido abandoned both Ayotomide and the child that resulted from their encounter, refusing to provide any form of support.
In a 2023 open letter, Kemi disclosed that she had been personally taking care of both Ayotomide and her daughter since 2018, alleging that Davido consistently turned a blind eye to their plight.
