Davido, alleged baby mama clash over paternity

 

Popular singer, Davido has denied fathering a young girl, Anuoluwapo, whose mother, Ayo Labinjoh, has repeatedly called for a DNA test to establish paternity. The dispute reignited on January 15, 2025, when an Instagram account managed by Labinjoh posted a heartfelt plea to Davido, alleging that years of bullying and ridicule at school had affected her daughter.

In the post, someone seemingly writing as Anuoluwapo, asked Davido to confirm her paternity. It read, “I am respectfully asking Mr David Adeleke… for a DNA test to establish my identity. This test is between my dad and me. It is something I want. Please, sir, consider my request once you read this post.”

Davido responded on X (formerly Twitter), dismissing the claims and warning Labinjoh to stop contacting him. He wrote, “After 5 DNA tests… she dey crase… her and her mom better leave me the f**k alone and go find her papa.” He added that the tests were conducted after his father’s insistence, insisting all results were negative.

Labinjoh countered, posting private chats between her daughter and Davido.

She claimed the pair met at a club in Ibadan, where she worked as a waitress, and alleged that the singer had ignored her after learning she was pregnant. She disputed Davido’s claims of multiple DNA tests, insisting only one was done at a lab and that the result was alledgedly falsified. She claimed that Davido gave money to the technician who conducted the test.

Seeking resolution, Labinjoh said she intends to involve the United States Embassy to supervise an independent DNA test, noting Davido’s US citizenship

Meanwhile, social media reactions have been mixed. Some have advised Labinjoh to move on, while others called on Davido to conduct a new DNA test in the interest of the child. Social media personality, Abisoye Michael, aka Oyemykke, urged the singer to comply for the sake of transparency and the girl’s wellbeing.
