Davido’s Father clarifies paternity allegations against singer, presents DNA evidence, done in South Africa
Dr Deji Adeleke, father of Afrobeats star Davido, has publicly addressed the persistent paternity allegations involving a girl identified as Anu Adeleke.
At a press conference held in Lagos on Wednesday, January 21, Dr Adeleke presented DNA evidence, which he said conclusively disproves claims that Davido fathered the young girl.
According to him, the test was carried out in South Africa in the presence of both families, leaving no room for doubt.
Davido’s dad provided paternity tests proving that Davido is not the biological father of the child in question.
The billionaire businessman dismissed allegations suggesting that the test result shared online was doctored.
He explained that the report was officially collected by him and the girl’s mother after proper verification.
His clarification followed a viral Instagram post made from Anu’s page, urging Davido to conduct another DNA test “for final confirmation.”
Davido had earlier reacted strongly, denying any biological connection to the child and threatening legal action against the mother.
The businessman, meanwhile, accused controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo of being the mastermind behind the intensifying drama surrounding the paternity issue.
According to him, Olunloyo had allegedly been impersonating Anu on Instagram and using the account to post accusations aimed at maligning the Adeleke family.
He encouraged Nigerians to be cautious of false narratives spread online, especially when sensitive issues such as paternity, family, and identity are involved.
