Story Highlights
Dr. Adedeji Adeleke has firmly rejected paternity claims against his son, Davido, stating that five separate DNA tests returned negative results. Speaking on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, the billionaire businessman explained that security concerns and legal risks prevent the public release of the music star’s genetic profile.
Billionaire industrialist Dr. Adedeji Adeleke has provided a comprehensive response to the lingering paternity dispute involving his son, Davido, and a woman named Ayo Labinjo. The business mogul addressed the issue on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, to clear the air regarding the identity of the child’s father.
Dr. Adeleke insisted that scientific evidence conclusively proves the Grammy-nominated artist is not the father. He explained that multiple laboratory examinations have all returned negative outcomes, putting the long-standing rumours to rest.
Security risks shield DNA data
The billionaire clarified why he cannot publish the full DNA profile of his son despite public pressure. Dr. Adeleke noted that releasing such sensitive genetic data exposes the singer to potential criminal framing or identity theft.
He stated, “I can’t share David’s DNA profile because if somebody commits a crime tomorrow, and the police comes out to say this is the DNA profile of the person, the person will go to jail.”
Privacy laws also protect the child involved in the dispute. The business tycoon emphasized that he lacks the parental consent required to make the minor’s genetic information public.
This careful approach comes as Davido erupts after alleged daughter demands fresh DNA test, highlighting the family’s frustration with the recurring claims.
A history of negative results
Dr. Adeleke recounted the events surrounding the very first test. The laboratory results confirmed Davido had no biological link to the child, a revelation that left the girl’s grandmother visibly distressed.
Davido’s father recalled the singer’s initial reaction upon seeing the child. The music star reportedly told him, “Daddy I have never seen this girl before,” but agreed to accept responsibility if the science proved otherwise.
Dr. Adeleke promised to take full care of the child if the test was positive. He also instructed his son to avoid direct contact with the mother to prevent any claims of harassment.
Following the initial dispute, the billionaire offered to fund two additional tests. He provided accommodation and upkeep for Ayo and her family, but they reportedly left for Ibadan before the new tests could happen.
The matter resurfaced in 2020 when the child’s aunt reached out. This led to a fresh round of confirmatory tests to settle the matter once and for all.
Ruling out family involvement
Rumours had suggested that Davido’s cousin, B-Red, might be the father. Dr. Adeleke addressed these claims by confirming that five tests took place in total, with three focusing on Davido and two on B-Red.
All five examinations returned negative results. To ensure accuracy, Dr. Adeleke compared the findings with the DNA profile of Imade, Davido’s first daughter, whose paternity was confirmed at 99.9% in 2015.
The profiles showed no match. Ayo’s sister reportedly acknowledged this discrepancy, further validating the Adeleke family’s position.
Public interest in the singer’s family life remains high, with other figures weighing in on his affairs. Recently, Hellen Ati begs Davido to adopt daughter while dragging Cubana Chief Priest, adding another layer of drama to the artist’s public narrative.
