Music star Davido and father, Dr Adedeji Adeleke
Music star Davido has thanked his father, Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, for defending him amid a paternity saga involving a 12-year-old girl, Anu.
Dr. Adeleke held a press conference, stating that DNA tests proved Davido is not Anu’s biological father, with a 0.00% paternity probability.
According to reports, Anu had claimed to be Davido’s daughter, prompting the singer to undergo multiple DNA tests, all of which were negative.
Dr. Adeleke accused investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo of impersonating Anu online to attack Davido and announced plans to take legal action for defamation.
Anu had requested a DNA test to establish her identity, citing bullying and mental distress.
Davido denied paternity, citing the negative DNA tests and threatening to take action against Anu’s mother.
Dr. Adeleke revealed the family had supported Anu financially, paying school fees and offering her mother a university scholarship, despite the negative tests.
Davido expressed gratitude to his father on Instagram, writing, “Thank you, my loving father”. (The Nation)
