According to the publisher, Davido and his family always have access to the child, and when he stopped paying Imade's school fees, he brought it to his father's notice, Deji Adeleke, who cleared all the school fees and gave the child a car.

The real issue between Davido and Sophia

Dele Momodu disclosed that the real issue was accommodation payment, which Sophia suggested Davido should pay. While she agreed to pay half of the rent, the Afrobeats singer rejected the offer and said he would only be paying N5 million per annum, which was not up to her demand.

He stated:

"Sophia allowed David access to their daughter, provided she has her nanny around 24/7. The 9-year-old herself made this request, and I believe this should be favourably considered and accepted. My grand-niece had been released to go out with her cousins on several occasions."
