The paternity row involving Afrobeat superstar David Adeleke a.k.a. Davido has taken a new dimension with his alleged ‘baby mama’, Ayo Labinjoh, accusing him of bullying her and Mitchele Anuoluwapo, her 12-year-old daughter at the centre of the dispute.
Anuoluwapo had reignited the smouldering dispute on Thursday with a public demand for a DNA test to determine whether the singer is her biological father.
Davido had previously denied being Anuoluwapo’s father, saying he had already undergone multiple DNA tests in that respect.
He also said he had never met with Anuoluwapo’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh, describing the latter as an obsessed fan lying to her daughter while Labinjoh insisted she met Davido at GQ Club in Ibadan and accused the singer of abandoning her because he thought she was a prostitute.
In a new post on her Instagram page, she accused Davido of bullying her and her daughter, threatening to lock her up and cursing Anuoluwapo.
Noting that Davido is a US citizen, she threatened to request the US State Department to contact the embassy in Lagos or Abuja to help supervise and witness a clean, independent DNA test.
She wrote: “My name is Ayo Labinjoh. I’m NOT Davido’s baby mama or a bitch.
“I am very protective of my daughter’s mental health after the level of bullying she went through for years.
“My daughter cried for days, fainted in school and went through psychotherapy.
“I realise this story has now gone global again and we have largely moved on.
“David Adeleke (Davido) has largely ignored me for years because he thought he picked up a prostitute from GQClub in Ibadan.
“I was a waitress and not picked up on the streets.
“I come from a good home. My late father was a good man who worked for the betterment of Nigeria before he was poisoned.
“My daughter is a very tech savvy intelligent achiever.
“I have no friends, I keep no friends and nobody in school is allowed to discuss her family with her.
“To my shock, she was trending on X because her dad needed to call me a bitch that he’s never met yet he subjected himself to a DNA test 5X?
“Last time it was his lawyer who brainwashed Nigerians that there were two tests done and I chose the hospital.”
She accused a member of the Adeleke family of taking her and Anuoluwapo to a lab and not a hospital, where the latter’s blood was drawn in 2014 and discarded behind their backs.
“We wasted our time, disrupted Anu’s mental health, then they lied that we did two tests, now 5, and then he’s never met me.
“I’m not fighting for my daughter. My daughter is fighting for her identity.
“David chatted my daughter tonight, threatening to lock me up, cursing Anu (Anuoluwapo) and repeatedly bullying her.
“David is a US citizen. I will request the US State Department to contact the Embassy in Lagos or Abuja to help us supervise and witness a clean independent DNA test.
“I will not say much for now. The language used was awful.
“My daughter did not beg to be here. Saying you’ve never met me or telling your family that I was a prostitute is wrong. (The Nation)
