Story Highlights
Davido publicly attacked Ebelechukwu Egeonu Enedah, the lawyer representing his baby mama, Sophia Momodu, following a heated courtroom session on February 13, 2026. The Afrobeats star accused the legal professional of unprofessional conduct and “wickedness” for allegedly using his deceased son, Ifeanyi, as leverage during their ongoing custody dispute.
The long-standing custody battle between David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and Sophia Momodu reached a boiling point on Friday. The singer took to his Instagram stories to vent his frustrations after a grueling day in legal proceedings.
Davido did not hold back his anger toward his daughter Imade’s maternal legal representative. He suggested the courtroom atmosphere turned personal when the lawyer allegedly mentioned his late son to gain an advantage.
Courtroom clash over family history
The tension follows reports that the singer faced intense cross-examination in court earlier that day. Davido claimed he had to “teach” the lawyer her job because she could not handle the pressure of the session.
He expressed deep hurt over the mention of his private family tragedies during the legal fight for his daughter. The singer described the lawyer’s demeanor as insensitive while he discussed his past losses.
”@belachukwu … i disgraced you in the courtroom .. I was teaching you your work you couldn’t even take it and then went on to mention My Son .. like I said in the courtroom I pray you never go through what me and my wife have gone through ever .. and u were still smiling smirking .. u are a wicked human being. UR THE WORST LAWYER EVER I BEAT YOU IN COURT! YOU ARE NOT LEARNED” Davido wrote.
Legal withdrawal and Valentine’s Day defiant
This outburst comes shortly after Davido decided to withdraw the custody case entirely to protect his mental health. He previously stated that using his deceased child as a “point” in court was a step too far.
Despite the heavy legal drama, the “Unavailable” crooner insisted he would not let the situation ruin his holiday. He posted a defiant message on Friday night to reassure fans he remains focused on his happiness.
”Useless pple wan spoil my Valentines ! NEVER !!! 😬🥰” the star declared.
