A paternity controversy involving Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, resurfaced on Thursday after a 12-year-old girl, Mitchelle Anuoluwapo, publicly requested a DNA test to establish whether the singer is her father.
Taking to Instagram, Anuoluwapo shared an emotional post detailing the psychological toll the unresolved paternity claim has taken on her life.
Davido, however, reacted, insisting that the matter had long been resolved.
Responding in the comment section of the post, the singer denied being her father and claimed he had already taken multiple DNA tests.
He wrote, “I’ve taken 5 DNA tests, all negative. I am not your father.
“Never met your mom. She’s an obsessed fan lying to you. This needs to stop. I actually have children. Stop this nonsense.”
The singer also took to X (formerly Twitter) to further express his frustration, revealing that the DNA tests were conducted at different medical facilities.
After 5 DNA test … she dey crase .. her and her mom better leave me the f#ck alone and go find her papa,” he posted.
In a series of follow-up posts, Davido accused the girl’s mother of misconduct and suggested she should face legal consequences.
“Never met the … except when went for the DNA … very stup!d behavior. I will soon treat their FK … 5 f#cking hospitals just to be clear .. the mom needs to go to jail … I don’t blame the poor girl,” he wrote.
Davido maintained that he has never had a relationship with the girl’s mother beyond the DNA test
process and stressed that all results were negative.
“I chose 3 hospitals and they chose their own two hospitals .. all came out negative .. this is the last time I’m speaking on this nonsense,” he added.
