Daddy Freeze Backs Davido in DNA Dispute

Media personality Daddy Freeze has stepped into the center of the viral paternity storm involving Afrobeats star Davido and a teenage girl, Anu Adeleke. In a definitive stance shared during an Instagram Live session, the broadcaster claimed he has personally scrutinized the medical evidence, asserting that the singer is not the biological father of the girl.

The controversy was reignited earlier this week when Anu, who turns 13 later this year, shared a poignant open letter on social media. She detailed years of psychological trauma and bullying, explaining that schoolmates had mocked her for claiming a connection to the superstar. Seeking closure as she transitions into her teenage years, she publicly appealed to Davido to undergo a fresh DNA test to “establish her identity.”

Davido, however, met the request with a blistering rebuttal on X (formerly Twitter). The “Unavailable” singer revealed that the matter had been settled years ago through a rigorous medical process. According to the artist, he has undergone no fewer than five separate DNA tests across different hospitals to put the rumors to rest. He clarified that while he chose three facilities, the girl’s family selected the remaining two—all of which returned negative results.

Adding weight to the singer’s defense, Daddy Freeze informed his followers on Friday, January 16, 2026, that he has seen the documentation first-hand. “David is not Anu’s father; I saw one of the DNA results,” he stated, urging the public to accept the medical findings. The media personality emphasized that the evidence he reviewed was conclusive, effectively siding with the Adeleke family’s insistence on their bloodline.

The dispute has since devolved into a war of words between the singer and the girl’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh. While Davido has accused Labinjoh of being an “obsessed fan” and threatened legal action for harassment, Labinjoh has contested the validity of the previous tests. She alleged that a 2014 blood sample was mishandled and recently vowed to seek intervention from the United States State Department to oversee a “clean, independent” test, citing Davido’s American citizenship.

As the back-and-forth continues to trend, the involvement of figures like Daddy Freeze highlights the intense public interest in the saga. For now, Davido maintains that he will no longer address the “nonsense,” standing firm on the results of the five tests he claims have already cleared his name. The situation remains a stalemate of conflicting accounts, with the teenager caught in the middle of a high-profile quest for her heritage.
