Afrobeat star Davido has announced that he is dropping the ongoing custody case involving his daughter, Imade, after expressing anger over what happened in court.
In a message shared on social media on Friday, the singer said he never asked for full custody of his daughter, but only joint custody. He criticised people celebrating the court matter, saying the child was the only one affected.
“I never asked for full custody … I asked for joint custody. Nobody won, nobody lost but Imade … so I don’t know why some pple r celebrating. There’s nothing to celebrate,” he wrote.
Davido said he decided to withdraw from the case after his late son was mentioned during the proceedings, which he described as very painful.
“I’ve decided to drop the case because … until she brought out her last card! MY DECEASED SON! THAT’S A NO NO! Lowest blow!” he said.
He added that he acted out of love for his daughter and wanted her to know he tried his best. “My daughter will grow up knowing I fought for her … let’s move on. One love!” he wrote.
The singer also accused the opposing lawyers of acting unprofessionally in court and criticised their conduct during the hearing.
The custody case between Davido and Imade’s mother has drawn public attention, with many fans calling for peaceful co-parenting for the child’s sake.
