**Davido Drops Custody Battle, Accuses Ex-Lawyer of Low Blow**
In a dramatic twist, Nigerian music sensation Davido has announced the end of his contentious custody battle with his ex-partner, Sophia Momodu. The battle, which has been ongoing for months, has left many in the entertainment industry stunned, particularly after a recent outburst in court.
According to reports, social media users were shocked when news broke that Davido lost his cool in court, sparking chaos in the courtroom. However, in a surprising move, the music star took to his Twitter page to set the record straight, revealing that he never requested full custody of their daughter, Imade. Instead, he had asked for joint custody, emphasizing that the real winner in this case was their daughter, Imade.
Davido explained that he has decided to drop the case after his ex-partner's lawyer, Maruf Muhammed, brought up the memory of his late son, which, he felt, was a low blow. The music star expressed his frustration, stating that he was simply reprimanding the lawyer for his actions, but was taken aback by the lawyer's decision to mention his late son. He emphasized that his daughter will grow up knowing how much he fought for her.
The drama unfolded in a courtroom in Yaba, where Davido's outburst led to his discharge. In an Instagram story, he further called out the lawyer, accusing him of being a wicked person who had never faced a situation as traumatic as the one he and his wife had endured. The singer claimed that he had been teaching the lawyer his work, but the lawyer couldn't handle it and resorted to mentioning his late son.
The custody battle, which began last year, was sparked by Davido's claims that Sophia was denying him access to Imade and extorting money from him. Sophia, however, opposed the joint custody battle, citing the death of Davido's son and other reasons why he was unfit to raise their daughter on his own.
The news of Davido dropping the custody battle has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many left wondering what's next for the singer and his daughter. As Davido moves on from this chapter, one thing is clear: he will continue to fight for his daughter's rights and well-being.
