Ayo Labinjoh, the woman at the center of the long-running paternity controversy involving superstar singer Davido, has finally broken her silence, offering a detailed and emotional response to claims surrounding her daughter’s DNA test.
The drama reignited after Davido publicly stated that multiple DNA tests had confirmed that teenage girl Aanu Adeleke is not his biological child. He also claimed he had never met Ayo before, using harsh language to describe her, shortly after Aanu released an open letter requesting a fresh paternity test.
In a statement shared via Aanu’s Instagram page, Ayo disputed nearly every part of Davido’s narrative.
She revealed that she met the singer years ago at HQ Club, insisting that he distanced himself from her after allegedly assuming she was a sex worker. According to her, that assumption shaped how she and her daughter were treated afterward.
Addressing the DNA controversy directly, Ayo challenged Davido’s claim of multiple hospital-based tests. She alleged that only one test was conducted in 2014—and not in a hospital, but at a laboratory arranged by Davido’s father.
She claimed the process was deeply flawed, alleging that her daughter’s blood sample was secretly discarded and replaced with falsified results. According to her account, the lab personnel involved later admitted publicly that the test was never properly conducted.
“We lost time, damaged my child’s mental health, and were fed lies,” she wrote, adding that the story had evolved from one test, to two, and now to five—while Davido simultaneously claims he has never met her.
Ayo stressed that the situation is not about money or conflict, but about identity.
“My daughter is not fighting for benefits. She is fighting to know who she is,” she said.
She also alleged that Davido recently sent threatening messages to Aanu, including verbal abuse and intimidation. Citing his U.S. citizenship, Ayo stated she intends to involve the U.S. State Department to ensure a transparent, independent DNA test supervised by appropriate authorities.
Closing her statement, she condemned the language and pressure directed at her daughter, emphasizing that no child deserves to be bullied for circumstances beyond their control.
“This is wrong,” she wrote. “My daughter did not ask to be born.”
