Paternity Saga: Davido Finally Breaks Silence After Dad's Press Conference, Makes New Announcement
- Dr Deji Adeleke held a press conference to present DNA evidence he claims "conclusively disproves" that his son fathered the child
- He also sensationally accused a controversial journalist of being the mastermind behind the viral Instagram posts used to malign the family
- Rather than engaging in a war of words, the singer chose a specific way to show his support for his father’s evidence
Singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has subtly addressed the swirling controversy around the paternity claims linking him to a young girl identified as Anu Adeleke.
Hours after his father, Dr Deji Adeleke, publicly presented DNA findings that he said “settle the matter conclusively,”
Davido took to Instagram to react to the press briefing.

The singer shared the full video on his Instagram story, a move many interpreted as his way of standing firmly by his father’s explanation without engaging directly in the unfolding drama.
Speaking in Lagos on Wednesday, January 21, Dr Adeleke said a comprehensive DNA analysis conducted in South Africa showed “with certainty” that Davido is not the father of the child.
He also addressed allegations suggesting the results were fabricated, insisting that both he and the girl’s mother collected the test documents themselves.
The businessman also accused controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo of allegedly impersonating Anu on Instagram.
According to him, she was behind posts calling for a fresh DNA test and publishing allegations against the Adeleke family.
Dr Adeleke described her actions as “malicious,” claiming the impersonation played a major role in escalating the controversy online.
Instead of issuing a direct response or addressing the allegations once more, Davido surprised many by immediately pivoting to his ongoing 5IVE Alive world tour.
Sharing additional dates on his Instagram story, the singer wrote:
“More dates added to the #5IVEAliveTour!! 5️⃣ Tanzania and Zambia I’ll see you soon get your tickets now.”
