The young girl said she wants to know her biological father before she turns 13. According to her, she has faced constant bullying in school whenever she tells her classmates that Davido is her father.
Anu explained that the repeated teasing has affected her mental health, forcing her to seek medical help. She said her decision to ask for a DNA test was driven by her desire to know the truth and put an end to the confusion surrounding her identity.
Her mother has also consistently claimed over the years that Davido is Anu’s father, although the singer has never publicly acknowledged the claim.
Following Anu’s public appeal and tagging of Davido online, the music star responded via his official X account. In his posts, Davido strongly denied being the father of Anu Adeleke.
The singer stated that he had previously undergone five DNA tests in different hospitals regarding the matter, and that all the results came out negative.
According to him, both parties agreed on the hospitals used for the tests, with each side selecting facilities to ensure transparency.
Davido expressed frustration over the renewed claims, insisting that the DNA results had already settled the issue.
He added that this would be the last time he would address the matter publicly, stressing that he has never had a personal relationship with Anu aside from attending the DNA test process.
While Davido maintained that he does not blame the child, he accused her mother of fuelling the controversy despite the test results.
Davido stated: “After 5 DNA tests … she Dey crase .. her and her mom better leave me the fucck alone and go find her papa …
Davido continued: “Never met the bitttch … except when we went for the DNA … very stupid behaviour. I will soon treat their FkK … 5 fuccking hospitals just to be clear .. the mom needs to go to jail … I don’t blame the poor girl ..
“Yes, I chose 3 hospitals, and they chose their own two hospitals .. all came out negative .. this is the last time I’m speaking on this nonsense,” he said.
