The development comes just hours after the Ovation TV boss shared a post addressing the ongoing family tension.
In his Instagram update, Dele Momodu assured the public that there was no cause for alarm.
He explained that conversations were happening behind the scenes and expressed optimism that matters would be resolved peacefully.
His statement appeared to calm nerves among supporters who had been worried about the public back-and-forth.
However, Davido’s decision to unfollow him shortly after has added a new layer to the unfolding situation.
Davido in heated custody battle with Sophia
The social media move comes on the heels of last week’s court appearance involving Davido and his daughter’s mother, Sophia Momodu.
During the custody proceedings, the singer reportedly lost his cool during cross-examination, leading to tension in the courtroom.
Davido later clarified that he had not sought full custody but rather joint custody of his daughter.
In an emotional statement, he announced that he had decided to drop the case and assured his daughter that she would grow up knowing he fought for her.
This is not the first time Dele Momodu has publicly weighed in on the matter.
In 2024, when Davido filed for joint custody, Momodu disclosed that Sophia had been primarily responsible for their daughter’s welfare.
He also revealed that he attempted to mediate by involving Davido’s father, Deji Adeleke, and his uncle, Ademola Adeleke.
According to him, solutions were offered within their capacity.
