Ayo Labinjoh, the mother of Anu Adeleke, who has been identified as the alleged teenage daughter of music star Davido, has spoken publicly again as the paternity controversy continues to generate reactions online.
The issue resurfaced after Anu took to Instagram to request a DNA test, explaining that years of bullying and emotional distress had pushed her to seek clarity about her identity.
She revealed that classmates repeatedly mocked her claim of being related to the singer.
Davido responded by denying paternity, insisting that he had undergone five DNA tests, all of which reportedly produced negative results.
He expressed anger over the renewed claims and warned that Anu’s mother would be held accountable.
Reacting to the singer’s position, Ayo Labinjoh said her priority has always been protecting her daughter’s mental well-being, especially after the psychological trauma she endured.
She criticised Davido for what she described as years of neglect and harsh treatment towards Anu.
In her statement, Ayo wrote, “Good evening, we are heading to bed now. First things first, my name is Ayo Labinjoh. I’m NOT Davido’s baby mama or a bitch. I am very protective of my daughter’s mental health after the level of bullying she went through for years. My daughter cried for days, fainted in school and went through psychotherapy. I realise this story has gone global again, and we have largely moved on.”

She also addressed allegations about her background and how Davido allegedly perceived her, stating, “David Adeleke has largely ignored me for years because he thought he picked up a prostītute from GQClub in Ibadan. I was a waitress and not picked up on the streets. I come from a good home. My late father was a good man who worked for the betterment of Nigeria before he was poisoned.”
Ayo went on to question the credibility of the DNA tests Davido referenced, describing the process as misleading and fraudulent. “To my shock, she was trending on X because her dad needed to call me a bitch that he’s never met, yet he subjected himself to a DNA test 5X? Last time, it was his lawyer Bobo Ajudua who brainwashed Nigerians that there were 2 tests done, and I chose the hospital.”
Prompt News reports she further alleged irregularities surrounding the test conducted years ago. “Dr Deji Adeleke took us to a LAB not a hospital, where Anu’s blood was drawn in 2014, then discarded behind our backs, and a fake result was printed… We wasted our time, disrupted Anu’s mental health, then they lied that we did two tests, now 5 and then he’s never met me.”
Clarifying her stance, Ayo insisted that the fight is not hers but her daughter’s. She also accused Davido of directly intimidating Anu. “I’m not fighting for my daughter. My daughter is fighting for her identity. David chatted with my daughter tonight, threatening to lock me up, cursing Anu, and repeatedly bullying her.”
She concluded by calling for an independent and transparent DNA process. “David is a US citizen. I will request that the US State Department contact the Embassy in Lagos or Abuja to help us supervise and witness a clean, independent DNA test… The language used was awful. My daughter did not beg to be here… Bullying my daughter is WRONG.”
