The drama surrounding a resurfaced DNA controversy involving Afrobeats star Davido has reached a boiling point! Davido’s father, the respected Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, has finally broken his silence, and he is not holding back. In a scathing press conference, he directly accused journalist Kemi Olunloyo of orchestrating the entire saga, calling her ‘crazy’ and alleging she’s impersonating a minor. The family is now threatening legal action.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Dr. Adeleke claims Kemi Olunloyo is using fake social media accounts to spread false paternity claims about Davido and a young girl named Anu.
- He asserts Olunloyo is illegally impersonating a minor and the child’s mother.
- The family alleges Olunloyo has been financially exploiting the situation.
- Dr. Adeleke refutes Olunloyo’s claims of a close relationship with Davido’s late mother.
- Multiple DNA tests have already confirmed Davido is NOT the father of the child.
- Despite this, the Adeleke family has been providing financial and educational support to the child.
- Legal action against Olunloyo is being seriously considered.
Adeleke Family Fires Back: ‘Kemi Olunloyo is a Lunatic!’
Addressing journalists in Lagos, a visibly firm Dr. Adedeji Adeleke laid bare the family’s stance on the persistent rumors. He vehemently denied that the recent social media buzz regarding the paternity of a child named Anu originated from the child or her mother. Instead, he pointed a finger directly at Kemi Olunloyo, accusing her of creating and controlling fake social media accounts in the names of the child and her mother. “The woman is crazy, what she’s doing is even illegal, because you’re impersonating a minor,” Dr. Adeleke stated.
Allegations of Exploitation and Fabricated History
Dr. Adeleke didn’t stop there. He alleged that Olunloyo has been using the situation to enrich herself. “From what the family told me… she was using the family, using the little girl to make money. That’s why they stopped talking to her,” he explained. Furthermore, he dismissed Olunloyo’s claims of having been a close confidante of his late wife, Davido’s mother. “She claims she was my late wife’s best friend. How can you be my late wife’s best friend and I don’t know you, I never met you,” he questioned, emphasizing that he knew who his wife’s actual close friends were.
The Truth About Davido’s Birth: A Medical Emergency
Shedding light on the circumstances of Davido’s birth, Dr. Adeleke recounted a harrowing medical emergency. He explained that his wife was flown from London to the United States due to a severe blood incompatibility issue. “When the plane landed in America, November 21st, 1992, they took her from that airport straight to the hospital. That was the day David was born. They flushed out her blood because she got the wrong blood and the doctor said we are lucky that if I had not asked her to leave, the child would have died. She would have died too,” he said. This detailed account directly contradicted Olunloyo’s narrative about allegedly driving his wife to the hospital.
DNA Tests Prove Paternity Falsehood: Adeleke’s Support Continues
On the central issue of DNA, Dr. Adeleke reiterated that multiple tests have conclusively proven that Davido is not the biological father of the child. He expressed his frustration with public condemnation of his son for not accepting a child that is not his. “People say that God will punish David for leaving this child. What do you want David to do, accept a child that is not his own?” he asked rhetically. Despite the clear results, the Adeleke family has continued to offer support out of goodwill. Dr. Adeleke revealed that he has been paying the child ₦50,000 monthly for upkeep and has offered both the child and her mother educational opportunities at Adeleke University. “I even offered that the little girl Anu can go to Adeleke University High School boarding school while the mom goes back to Adeleke University to complete her degree,” he added, showing the family’s commitment to the child’s welfare, irrespective of the paternity outcome.
Legal Action on the Horizon?
The Adeleke family has made it clear that they are prepared to take further steps if the misinformation and alleged impersonation continue. “With the way she’s going about this, lying and lying and then using an account that does not belong to her, using a child’s name to impersonate a child and the mother of the child… we are going to consider suing her,” Dr. Adeleke warned. The family’s priority remains protecting their reputation, ensuring the child’s well-being, and definitively ending the spread of false information and exploitation.
What is DNA Paternity Testing?
DNA paternity testing is a scientific method used to determine if a man is the biological father of a child. It involves comparing the DNA profiles of the child, the alleged father, and sometimes the mother. The process is highly accurate and is often used in legal and personal matters.
| Individual | Role | Allegations |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Adedeji Adeleke | Davido’s Father | Accuses Kemi Olunloyo of impersonation and exploitation. |
| Davido | Afrobeats Star | Subject of disputed paternity claims. |
| Kemi Olunloyo | Journalist | Accused of impersonating a minor, creating fake accounts, and spreading misinformation. |
| Anu (minor) | Child involved | Her paternity is the subject of the controversy. |
The Adeleke family’s strong response signifies a determination to put an end to what they perceive as malicious and baseless accusations. As legal options are explored, the public awaits further developments in this high-profile controversy.
