Anu Adeleke, the young girl whose mother has previously claimed that Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is her biological father, has shared what she described as an alleged private chat with the singer following her recent public call for a DNA test.
The development comes days after the teenager went public on social media, saying she wanted clarity about her identity and to confirm her paternity now that she is older.
In the alleged chat shared online, Davido was said to have denied being Anu’s father, insisting that multiple DNA tests conducted in different locations had already shown that he is not biologically related to her.
According to the messages, the singer initially stated that five DNA tests had been carried out but later corrected himself, explaining that four tests were conducted and assuring that the results would be made public.
Anu was said to have requested access to the DNA test results as part of her attempt to better understand the circumstances surrounding her birth and the long-standing paternity claims involving her and the singer.
The alleged chat has generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing sympathy for the young girl, while others questioned the role of her mother in sustaining the controversy.
Some social media users said they felt sorry for Anu, describing her actions as a genuine search for identity rather than a bid for attention, while others maintained that only verifiable DNA evidence could finally resolve the issue.
However, a number of commenters dismissed the situation, treating it as entertainment rather than a sensitive matter involving a minor.
As the story continues to trend, several users have called for restraint, urging that the emotional wellbeing of the young girl be prioritised and that the matter be handled privately or through appropriate legal channels.
As of the time of filing this report, Davido has not issued any official public statement beyond the alleged private exchange shared online.
