“Nobody Won, Nobody Lost but Imade” – Davido Withdraws Custody Case, Opens up on Court Drama

Afrobeats superstar, Davido has finally broken his silence over reports of a heated moment in court during his custody dispute over his daughter, Imade.

Earlier reports claimed the singer had an outburst during proceedings.

But taking to social media, Davido dismissed several circulating narratives as inaccurate, clarifying that he never asked for full custody.

“I never asked for full custody… I asked for joint custody. Nobody won, nobody lost but Imade… so I don’t know why some people are celebrating… there’s nothing to celebrate.”

According to him, the legal action was only to secure shared parenting rights.

However, tensions allegedly escalated in court after the opposing counsel referenced his late son, Ifeanyi, a move Davido described as “the lowest blow.”

The singer said the mention of his deceased child deeply hurt him and triggered his emotional reaction.

He also accused the lawyer involved of misconduct and said he felt disrespected during the proceedings. Despite everything, Davido revealed he has now decided to withdraw the custody case entirely.

“My daughter will grow up knowing I fought for her… let’s move on. One love!”

His statement has since sparked massive reactions online. While many fans sympathised with him, others urged both parties to prioritise Imade’s well-being and handle future matters privately.

As of the time of this report, there has been no official response from the opposing legal team.
