Afrobeats star Davido unfollowed media mogul Dele Momodu on Instagram on February 20, 2026. The move followed Momodu’s public claim that elders are working behind the scenes to resolve the singer’s custody dispute with Sophia Momodu. Davido apparently rejected this narrative by cutting digital ties.
Afrobeats sensation Davido has made a bold statement by unfollowing media mogul Dele Momodu on Instagram. This digital snub occurred on February 20, 2026, following Momodu’s public comments regarding the singer’s private life.
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.
”I’ve been visiting here for over two decades but this visit is different. I came to commiserate with my friend and Sister, former Vice President H.E DR JEWEL HOWARD-TAYLOR on the passing of her only child, CHARLES PHILIP NEILSON TAYLOR JR.” the publisher added.
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.
