The ongoing paternity dispute involving Afrobeats superstar Davido and 12-year-old Anuoluwapo Mitchelle, who claims to be his daughter, escalated after a leaked private chat surfaced online. In the messages, Davido allegedly threatened to have Anuoluwapo’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh, arrested over what he described as persistent “harassment.”
The conversation, shared on Anuoluwapo’s Instagram page co-managed by her mother, reportedly shows the singer denying paternity and expressing frustration over the years-long dispute.
In the messages, Davido allegedly wrote:
“Stop this nonsense. Keep playing, and I will arrest your mother. Try this nonsense again. I’m not your father.”
When Anuoluwapo clarified that her mother was not involved in her appeal, he reportedly insisted:
“I am not your father. Go and find your father. This is the last time. I’m warning. I’ve done five DNA tests. You’re not mine. Please stop this nonsense before it gets messy.”
Responding to requests for the DNA results, the singer allegedly explained:
“Yes, I will show you. Five. Two of the hospitals were chosen by your mother. Two were chosen by me. All negative. Four tests. Then one test 10 years. That’s five. You’re not my child.”
He also reportedly warned that legal action would follow, saying:
“Don’t worry, I will publish them tomorrow and in the newspaper. I will publish online and in newspaper. Then I will take your mom to court. She thinks it’s a game. Just watch. She will go to jail.”
The authenticity of the chat has not been confirmed by Davido, but the messages have gone viral online, sparking widespread discussion about the paternity claims and the singer’s response.
