American-Nigerian music star David Adeleke aka Davido is currently battling a multiplicity of claims bordering on cyber-bullying and threat to life.

At least three Nigerians including Sophie Momodu, the mother of Davido’s first child and daughter, have made official complaints of cyberbullying and threat to life against the singer. Others, who have made the same claims are award-winning songstress Tiwa Savage and Nigerian sports topshot, Amaju Pinnick.

In the last quarter of 2023, Pinnick had alleged that Davido refused to show up at a concert which he had been fully paid for by Brown Hill investment. The issue degenerated into an online back and forth with Davido calling out Pinnick and making counter-claims.

Following the ugly incident, Pinnick petitioned the police against Davido for alleged criminal defamation of character and cyberbullying.

The Nigeria Police Force Panti Division was reported to have sent a letter inviting the musician for a response regarding the criminal defamation of character and cyberbullying but he’s yet to respond, hence, Pinnick has resorted to the court to settle their differences.

In the early days of 2024, the media went on a frenzy after Tiwa Savage filed a petition against Davido, over an alleged threat to her life.

In the petition addressed to Lagos State Commissioner of Police Fayoade Adegoke, Savage claimed that Davido threatened her in response to a social media post she made which featured one of Davido’s babymama, Sophie Momodu.

Tiwa recounts Davido’s messages warning her and alleging disrespectful behaviour. She emphasised their past friendship, including support during his challenges. Tiwa concludes by stating her concerns of online and offline harassment and holds Davido responsible for any harm to her or her family.

Also on the list of individuals that have filed complaints against Davido is the mother of one of his four children, Sophie Momodu.

Shortly after Tiwa Savage’s official complaint to the police, Sophia Momodu instructed her lawyers to write an official complaint against the father of four, accusing him of cyberbullying, harassment, and threats to her life.

Through her legal representatives, Momodu issued a cease and desist order against Davido, dated January 10, 2024. The document outlines allegations of cyberbullying, harassment, and threats, asserting that the singer paid blogs to disseminate false statements about her.
