Nigerian superstar Davido is back in the headlines, but this time it’s not about a new hit or concert. A teenage girl, Mitchelle Anuoluwapo Adeleke, has gone public, requesting a DNA test to confirm if Davido is her biological father. She says not knowing her father has caused bullying and emotional stress at school, and the post quickly went viral on Instagram.
Davido, however, is having none of it. The singer fired back publicly, stating that he has already conducted five DNA tests at different hospitals, all of which came back negative. In his usual blunt style on X (formerly Twitter), he insisted the matter is closed.
Things got even messier after a leaked chat showed Davido reportedly warning he might take legal action against the teenager’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh, accusing her of “harassment.” The leak sent social media into a frenzy, with fans and followers weighing in from all sides.
The mother has her own side of the story. She disputes Davido’s claim about multiple DNA tests, insisting only one test was done back in 2014, and that it was mishandled. She has also accused Davido of using harsh language and “bullying” her daughter online.
This saga has reignited an old debate and divided public opinion. Some are rallying behind the teenager’s plea for identity and closure, while others side with Davido, arguing that multiple DNA tests already disproved paternity.

For now, no new independent DNA results have been made public, and no legal confirmation has been announced. The drama continues, and social media is not letting this go quietly.
