Dr Deji Adeleke, father of Afrobeats superstar David ‘Davido’ Adeleke, has addressed the long-running controversy surrounding DNA claims involving his son, saying multiple paternity tests have conclusively shown that the teenage girl at the centre of the allegation is not Davido’s child.
Speaking during a press briefing that went viral on Wednesday, the billionaire businessman said the Adeleke family went to great lengths to verify the claim and would have accepted the child without hesitation if the results had proven otherwise.
The issue resurfaced recently after an Instagram account said to belong to the girl appealed publicly to Davido to submit to another DNA test.
Davido had responded last week, stating that he had already conducted multiple DNA tests on the girl and that the results showed she was not his daughter.The singer spoke out after 12-year-old Anu Adeleke allegedly wrote an open letter on social media claiming she was being bullied in school for not knowing her father and calling on Davido to address the matter publicly.
