Nigerian music star Davido (David Adeleke) reportedly appeared visibly frustrated during a custody hearing in the High Court in Yaba, Lagos on Thursday, February 12 2026, as his ongoing legal battle with his ex, Sophia Momodu, over the custody of their daughter Imade attracted attention. During what sources described as a tense cross-examination by opposing counsel, Davido allegedly lost his composure under questioning an exchange that saw his father step in to calm him.
Eyewitnesses and social media posts from those present in court suggest the line of questioning rattled the singer, prompting reactions online about the pressures of legal proceedings even for high-profile figures.
The custody dispute itself has spanned several years and continues to draw strong public interest, with past reports indicating a long-running battle over joint access to Imade and legal arguments from both sides about her upbringing.
The case is ongoing and more hearings are expected as both sides seek a lasting legal resolution regarding the child’s care arrangements
