DAVIDO’S BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!🎂 Imade Celebrated in Style – But Sophia’s Reaction Will Leave You Speechless!😳🔥”

In what was supposed to be a heartwarming celebration of his first daughter’s birthday, Davido once again managed to stir public emotion—and controversy.

On May 14th, as fans, friends, and family flooded social media with love for young Imade Adeleke, Davido took to Instagram with a post that had everyone talking—but it wasn’t just the love for his daughter that grabbed attention.

The singer, currently basking in the glow of fatherhood with his newborn twins and his marriage to Chioma, posted a picture of Imade looking radiant and all grown up, along with the caption:
“Happy birthday my first! I love you so much.

You will grow to be great, beautiful, and powerful.

Daddy’s always proud of you.

At first glance, the message seemed sweet and expected.

But what followed next sent shockwaves through the fanbase.

Davido ended the post with the word “Congratulations”, a choice that immediately raised eyebrows.

Congratulations… for what? Fans began speculating: Was it just about her birthday? Or was he subtly celebrating something else? Was this a cryptic message hinting at something behind the scenes?

Even more conspicuous was the complete absence of Sophia Momodu—Imade’s mother—from the post.

Not even a tag, not a thank-you, not a mention.

And while Davido has had a long, complicated relationship with Sophia, many fans expected at least a gesture of acknowledgement, especially given her central role in raising Imade.

Sources close to Sophia say she was “blindsided and hurt” by the post—not because Davido celebrated their daughter, but because he chose to use such a public moment to seemingly erase her from the narrative.

One insider shared, “Sophia has always been there.

She’s been the primary parent, the one doing the school runs, the doctor visits, the late nights.

And then he posts like she doesn’t exist? It’s disrespectful.

This comes amid months of rumored tension between Sophia and Davido, with legal hints, custody debates, and co-parenting disagreements simmering just under the surface.

Davido’s fans, known as the “30BG” army, have largely defended his actions, saying he’s doing his best to remain involved in his daughter’s life despite a complicated past.

But not everyone agrees.

Social media was quickly flooded with reactions.

Some fans praised Davido for stepping up and publicly showing love to his daughter, while others slammed him for what they saw as a calculated dig at Sophia.

“Imagine raising a child alone for years, only for the father to post a ‘Congratulations’ as if he’s the full-time parent,” one user tweeted.

Another commented, “Davido loves his daughter, no doubt.

But it’s time he starts showing some respect to the mother too.

Adding fuel to the fire, Sophia posted a cryptic message just hours later—a black-and-white photo of herself with Imade as a baby, captioned:
“Everything I do is for you.

That’s it.

That’s the post.

Fans took it as a direct response to Davido’s subtle shade, and within minutes, #SophiaSpeaks began trending on X (Twitter).

Industry insiders say the tension has been building for months.

While Davido has been vocal about wanting all his children to grow up under one roof—and is now focusing on life with Chioma and the twins—his co-parenting dynamics with Sophia have reportedly grown colder.

The two have not been seen publicly together in over a year, and communication is said to be strictly through lawyers or intermediaries.

And yet, amidst all the chaos, little Imade remained the center of attention.

Fans and celebrities alike sent her birthday wishes, and a few notable figures—like Tiwa Savage and Ubi Franklin—tagged both parents in their posts, perhaps as a subtle call for unity.

Still, the damage was done.

What should’ve been a sweet birthday message became a headline-grabbing moment of tension, silence, and unresolved conflict.

And the “Congratulations” line? It continues to haunt the comments section of Davido’s post.

Some fans now believe the artist was congratulating Imade for something symbolic—maybe her strength, her resilience, or simply surviving another year in a complex family dynamic.

Others think it was a subtle dig… perhaps congratulating himself for being a part-time dad with full-time praise.

Either way, the message hit differently—and not in a good way for Sophia.

As the dust settles and fans continue to speculate, one thing remains clear: In Davido’s world, even a birthday post can trigger a nationwide debate.

And with his growing family, fame, and responsibilities, the spotlight isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
