‘Thank You, My Loving Father’ — Davido on DNA Controversy

Music star Davido has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to publicly thank his father, billionaire businessman Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, following a viral video addressing the ongoing DNA controversy involving claims that he fathered a 12-year-old girl named Anu Adeleke.

In a heartfelt tweet, Davido wrote: “Thank you my loving Father”

The tweet comes after Dr. Adeleke released a video disputing online claims and presenting DNA evidence to confirm that Davido is not the biological father of Anu. The video has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many fans praising the singer for publicly showing gratitude to his father.

The controversy escalated after Anu requested a DNA test on social media to establish her parentage, citing emotional distress. Davido and his team have consistently maintained that multiple DNA tests returned negative results, a claim his father reinforced in the video.

Davido’s tweet has been widely shared, with fans lauding him for acknowledging his father’s support during a tense and highly publicised situation. Dr. Adeleke’s video also urged Nigerians to rely on verified evidence and exercise caution with unverified online claims.

This exchange highlights the close bond between Davido and his father, even amid public controversies, and underscores the importance of family support in navigating celebrity pressures.
