Sophia Momodu, Nigerian media personality and mother of Davido’s first daughter, Imade, has spoken out about her co-parenting experience with the afrobeats star, revealing that she has been solely responsible for most of their child’s needs.
Responding to online narratives about her relationship with Davido and their daughter, the influencer took to Instagram to set the record straight.
She explained that contrary to assumptions, she has not been receiving child support from the singer and has acted as Imade’s “primary caregiver” in recent years.
“Social media has become an integral part of our lives, and unfortunately, it has also become a platform for spreading false narratives. On a recent Sunday morning, I woke up to numerous posts that were intentionally targeted at my lovely daughter and trying to portray a false image of her well being,” she wrote.
“As a fiercely protective mother, my initial reaction was emotional, but I knew that I had to stand up for my child. It’s important to note that my daughter is a happy, healthy, and well rounded child. Anyone who has met her in person can attest to this.”

Sophia further clarified that while she has borne most of her daughter’s expenses, Imade has consistently received support from her paternal grandparents, noting that they have covered her school fees for the past three years.
She also emphasized that despite the challenges, Imade maintains a positive and loving relationship with her father.
“To further emphasize my commitment to my daughter’s well being, I have been her primary caregiver for the past five years. I have handled all of her expenses except for school fees, which her paternal grandparent has kindly covered for the past three years. I have not received child support from her father, but our child knows no lack,” she stated.
“I have never denied her father access or a relationship. Instead, I prioritize her safety and structured schedules. I am grateful that my daughter has a loving relationship with both parents. Moving forward, I kindly request that my innocent child be left out of false narratives and stories. Let’s channel our energy towards things that are more profitable and healthy.”
Her remarks have since stirred fresh conversations about co-parenting, online narratives, and celebrity family dynamics.
