The move highlights the growing tension between the music star and the Momodu family. It signals a breakdown in communication despite attempts at mediation.
Momodu claims peace talks are underway
Momodu shared a post from Liberia claiming fans asked him to settle the ongoing dispute. He reassured followers that a resolution was currently in progress through private channels. He stated that fans in Liberia had reached out to him personally.
”Here in Liberia, @davido is treated as the god of music.” Dele Momodu wrote.

He further suggested that the situation remains under control and requested prayers for all parties. Momodu seemed confident that the long-running battle would find a peaceful end.
”One of them is this ‘fashion designer’ @lorine.doe who said I should step in and settle the ‘quarrels.'” he said.
”My dear Sister, thanks so much. Nothing to worry about. Everything is going to be alright… We are working behind the scenes. Pls, keep everyone in your prayers…” Momodu declared.
Davido rejects the mediation narrative
Davido apparently took offence to the suggestion of a behind-the-scenes settlement. He quickly unfollowed the publisher, as shown in viral screenshots of his following list. Fans noticed the change immediately on his profile.
This reaction comes shortly after the singer faced grilling in the dock during the Imade custody battle. He has remained vocal about his desire to handle family matters through official legal channels.
The singer previously made headlines after protecting his relatives during the dispute with Sophia Momodu’s lawyers. His latest social media activity suggests he is not ready for a public reconciliation. He continues to push for a formal resolution.

Davido shares message: Indian butler celebrates life change after meeting the singer

Davido recalled meeting Kadak during his trip to India last year while staying at a luxury hotel. He described the man as a very loyal butler who served him with dedication during his stay.
The singer expressed his joy at seeing how a brief encounter could lead to such a positive outcome. He noted that people never truly know when they are being used as a vessel for God’s blessings. This act of kindness follows several instances where Davido proved he is the king of support by helping those around him.
A life-changing encounter in India
Kadak reached out to the music icon to share his success story and express deep gratitude. He sent a photo of a new white car and the keys to show Davido the fruit of his hard work. The message highlighted the profound impact the singer had on his personal and professional journey.
”Hello Sir Davido, With your blessings, I am going to buy a new car. It has been almost 1.4 years since I met you in the hotel. From the day we met, my whole life has changed, and everything has become good.”
Govind Kadak wrote.
The former butler did not stop at just sharing his news but also offered prayers for the singer. He praised Davido’s character and wished him and his family continued happiness and divine protection. This public display of affection mirrors the moment Davido sends him 20 million naira to support an associate’s dreams last December.
Davido reacts to the heartwarming testimony
Davido seemed moved by the message and decided to share the story with his millions of followers. He posted a photo of himself with Kadak from their original meeting in India to provide context. The singer’s response focused on the spiritual significance of the interaction and the power of being kind to strangers.
”Sir, you are a very good person. I love you, sir. May God give you lots of happiness, and may you and your family receive even the happiness that belongs to my share as well.” Kadak declared.
”Wow met this dude in India last year and posted him on my IG snap was a very loyal butler of mine at the hotel we stayed in … you never know when God is using you” Davido wrote.

“I’m giving him hell too”: Larissa London warns Davido amid Imade custody row
On February 16, 2026, UK-based makeup artist Larissa London took to Snapchat to address her relationship with singer Davido. Amid the singer’s heated custody battle with Sophia Momodu, London claimed she is also giving him trouble while slamming “male centred women” for harassing her over their shared son, Dawson.
Image credit: Images via Instagram / @larissalondon, @davido.The Nigerian entertainment scene faced fresh drama on February 16, 2026, as Larissa London broke her silence. The London-based mother of one chose a chaotic moment to voice her frustrations with the father of her child.
Her outburst coincides with a period of high tension for the “Unavailable” singer. ValidUpdates understands that the public reaction to his family matters prompted this rare social media display from the makeup artist.
Larissa London vows to fight back
Larissa used her Snapchat stories to send a clear message about her current stance with the music star. She dismissed the idea that she is staying quiet while other mothers of the singer’s children speak out.
”Don’t worry I’m giving him hell too” Larissa London wrote this on her social media page to clarify her position.
The timing of her statement is significant. It comes just as Davido withdrew his custody case against his first baby mama Sophia after a long legal struggle. Larissa seems determined to show that she is not a passive observer in the singer’s complicated family life.
Star slams “male centred women”
Beyond her issues with the singer, Larissa turned her anger toward female critics. She shared screenshots of messages from users who she claims have been harassing her through multiple social media accounts.
”You created another page to ha—ss me again”
The makeup artist shouted via her caption.
She expressed deep disgust for women who prioritise men over the well-being of fellow women. This mirrors the tension seen when Larissa London celebrated Dawson’s second birthday and faced questions about the boy’s paternity. Larissa claimed that “male centred women” are dangerous and recalled being betrayed by close friends in the past.
A call for privacy in family matters
The mother of one urged the public to stop taking sides in matters they do not fully understand. She shared a message from a follower advising her to stay low-key and protect her “star son” from online negativity.
”How can you have an opinion comment without knowing facts from BOTH sides… like c’mon”
Larissa London noted while responding to a follower’s advice.
She admitted to being a “child-like” person who gets attached easily, which has led to past trauma. This vulnerability comes years after Larissa London first shared photos of Davido to confirm the singer’s role in her son’s life. She concluded by asking fans to stay out of family matters and respect her privacy during this period.
Otunba slams Sophia Momodu: Davido’s ally reveals true cause of feud over custody battle
Story Highlights
On February 14, 2026, Davido’s associate, Otunba, claimed Sophia Momodu’s anger stems from the singer’s refusal to marry her. Otunba alleged Momodu is upset because Davido ghosted her to reunite with his wife, Chioma, and subsequently stopped funding Momodu’s luxurious lifestyle amid their ongoing child custody battle.
Image Credit: @ManLikeIcey via X.The heated custody battle between Nigerian music star Davido and Sophia Momodu has taken a messy turn. Fans and observers continue to trade words over the welfare of their daughter, Imade. The dispute recently intensified as both parties exchanged legal fire in court.
This latest development follows a period of high tension and public outcries from both camps. Many followers feel exhausted by the constant back-and-forth between the former lovers. The situation remains sensitive as it involves the private life of a minor.
Otunba exposes the “real reason” for the dispute
A close ally of the singer, known as Otunba, broke his silence on the matter via X.com. He offered a blunt perspective on why the relationship soured so quickly. Otunba suggested that the current hostility is rooted in personal rejection rather than just parental concerns.
He claimed that Momodu’s bitterness began when Davido shifted his focus back to his wife. According to the associate, the singer ended a temporary reconciliation with Momodu to fix his marriage. This move reportedly left the mother of one feeling abandoned and resentful.
”Sophia Momodu is a sha—less and e—l woman, all of this started after he ghosted her and started dating Chioma back.” Otunba wrote.
Claims of luxury and failed marriage hopes
The associate further alleged that Momodu enjoyed significant perks during their brief period of closeness. He noted that she frequently used the singer’s expensive cars and lived a high-end life. The tone of his message suggested that financial changes fueled the current fire.
Otunba listed three specific reasons for Momodu’s alleged anger toward the Afrobeats star. He cited a failed marriage expectation and the withdrawal of financial support as primary triggers. These claims mirror the drama seen when Davido slammed Sophia Momodu’s lawyer over deceased son leverage during their court proceedings.
”During that period Sophy and Davido were having their thing she was always cruising with his cars and never remembered she can’t trust Imade with him”
The associate added.
”1) He refused to marry her. 2) She and Davido started seeing each other after he and Chi broke up one time, he ghosted her and went back to Chi. 3) He stopped funding her luxurious lifestyle.” Otunba declared.
The public remains divided as the legal tussle continues to dominate headlines. Some support the singer’s right to see his child, while others defend Momodu’s cautious stance. This conflict recalls the moment Davido withdrew the custody case after a series of heated social media posts.
