Davido melts hearts after reuniting with daughter Imade

Afrobeats sensation Davido has created emotional reactions across social media after sharing a heartwarming update about reuniting with his daughter, Imade Adeleke.

The global music star, who is currently enjoying massive acclaim following the release of his latest album 5ive, took to his Instagram story to post a screenshot of a video call with Imade, expressing pure joy at their reconnection.

“Best day of my life. @realimadeadeleke,” Davido captioned the image, which showed the father and daughter beaming during a WhatsApp video call.

The post quickly went viral, drawing an outpouring of reactions from fans and followers who were moved by the moment.

“See how the girl dey happy!!! Blood!!!” an Instagram user, Elizabeth Ofikwu, exclaimed.

Another user, Ivy Nani, commented, “Her mum has finally agreed to release her,” hinting at the long-running custody tussle between Davido and Imade’s mother, Sophia Momodu.

Gentle Sam also chimed in with a lighthearted take: “Resemblance na water ,” referring to their striking facial similarity.

The emotional reunion comes against the backdrop of an ongoing legal battle between Davido and Sophia over custody rights. In 2024, the singer filed a motion in court seeking joint custody of Imade, citing his commitment to being actively involved in her upbringing. However, Sophia is seeking sole custody, alleging that Davido has not been consistently present or supportive financially in their daughter’s life.

While the legal case is still unfolding, Davido’s recent post signals a hopeful moment in what has been a contentious saga. Fans are now hoping that the touching father-daughter moment marks the beginning of improved relations and shared parenting in the best interest of Imade.
