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.

​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.

Gift and unboxing

The orange box held what outlets and fans identified as a Hermès Haut à Courroies model. Reports and fan threads put the bag’s rough market value at about $30,000.

The clip shows Davido lifting the lid slowly, smiling broadly, and embracing Chioma in thanks. He kept the moment private and warm while sharing it publicly in a short story.

Fans and public reaction

Comment threads filled with praise and playful jokes about luxury culture. Many fans sent hearts and wrote short congratulations under the post.

The warmth of Davido’s thanks made the clip feel more personal than a simple luxury reveal. Viewers noted the hug and the soft words more than the price tag.

What to watch next

Davido responded to select fan messages with brief thanks and heart emojis. His team has not issued a formal statement about the item’s make or price yet.

The couple’s public moments continue to drive engagement online and fuel conversations about lifestyle and celebrity culture. ValidUpdates will track any new posts from the pair or official statements.

In the post, Chioma showed a bouquet of cream roses and a handwritten message from her husband. Davido wrote that he wanted to remind her of his love “today, tomorrow and always,” and added that he missed her.

The moment follows his string of public praises for her in October. Davido praises Chioma in fresh clip.

She added a short caption over the image, calling him “My sweet husband,” and tagged his handle. Davido also reshared the note on his page and told her, “I just say make I remind u,” to keep the romantic tone. The exchange quickly made its way to entertainment blogs.

How the note looked

The note sat on top of the flower arrangement Chioma filmed. Davido’s writing read, “I just want to remind you that I love you today, tomorrow and always. I miss you so much. Your loving husband.” It was signed off with a heart to seal the message.

Fans read it as another proof that the couple still enjoy their marriage months after their lavish white wedding in Miami. They have kept up steady public updates since that August outing.

Their romance stays public

Davido and Chioma have used Instagram all year to show affection. In September he even surprised her with a 2025 Mercedes G580 EQ, which she proudly unveiled online. Chioma unveils 2025 G580 EQ gift.

Since October, Davido has been busy with his 5IVE tour stops across Nigeria, yet he still carves out time to send her public love notes. That balance of work and family has become part of his brand this season.

Fans love the steady updates

Reactions under reposts of the Story praised the singer for being open about his marriage. Many said the hand-written note felt more intimate than a normal caption. Others said it was “husband goal” behaviour that matched his past gifts.

The couple’s online show of love also helps calm old breakup rumours that sometimes appear around Davido’s name. Each new post now works like a small update on their home life.
