SHARE

Davido's father, in a recent interview, has revealed shocking details about the ongoing DNA request from an alleged daughter, Anu.

Following the request for a DNA test from singer Davido from his alleged daughter, the singer's father has revealed shocking details about the case for the first time.

Adedeji Adeleke, the father of Afrobeats superstar Davido, has publicly addressed the long-standing paternity controversy regarding a 12-year-old girl named Anuoluwapo. Speaking at a press conference in Lagos on Wednesday, the billionaire businessman stated clearly that multiple DNA tests have confirmed the girl is not his son’s child.

Key Statements from Adedeji Adeleke on the Anu DNA case

Mr. Adeleke described the ongoing rumors and claims for fresh DNA test from Anu as well as netizens as unnecessary and provided the following details:

  • Multiple Tests: He revealed that five separate DNA tests have been conducted to verify paternity. According to him, every result has proven that Davido is not the father.
  • Davido’s Stance: He emphasized that while Davido has never denied any of his biological children, the singer cannot be expected to take responsibility for a child that is not his.
  • Concern for the Child: Mr. Adeleke noted that regardless of the dispute, the young girl deserves to know who her true father is.

Secret Financial Support: Despite the negative DNA results, Mr. Adeleke revealed that he supported the child financially for years out of kindness.

  • Hidden Payments: He disclosed that up until last year, he regularly sent money to Anuoluwapo’s aunt for the child's school fees and general upkeep.
  • Verification: He ensured the money was used correctly by requiring the aunt to send back receipts and proof of purchase.
  • Kept from Davido: Mr. Adeleke stated, "I did not discuss it with David or anybody," confirming that the singer was unaware of these payments.

Why the Issue Resurfaced: The dispute gained fresh attention in mid-January after Anuoluwapo posted a video on Instagram. The teenager pleaded for a new DNA test, citing severe bullying and mental distress from peers who mock her over her paternity status.

Conflicting Claims from the Mother: While the Adeleke family insists five tests were done, the child's mother, Ayotomide Labinjoh, tells a different story:

  • Dispute over Tests: Labinjoh claims only one DNA test was conducted in 2014 and alleges that the results were compromised at the clinic.
  • Demand for New Test: She is calling for a fresh, independent investigation.
  • U.S. Involvement: To ensure transparency, Labinjoh has requested that a new test be supervised by the U.S. Embassy or State Department, given Davido’s status as a U.S. citizen.
