Social media went into meltdown after leaked messages, allegedly between Nigerian superstar Davido and a 12-year-old girl, Anuoluwapo Mitchell, resurfaced an old and heated paternity dispute. The chats, dated January 16, 2026, have reopened wounds many thought were long settled.
In the messages making the rounds, the singer is said to firmly deny being the girl’s father, insisting he has never met her mother, Ayo Labinjoh, and claiming that multiple DNA tests have already cleared him. Despite this, Anuoluwapo reportedly pleaded for a fresh test, saying the lingering controversy has caused her emotional pain and relentless bullying.
Tensions allegedly flared when Davido warned that the situation had gone too far, expressing frustration and suggesting legal action if the accusations continued. The girl later clarified that her mother did not push her to reach out, but Davido reportedly stood his ground, urging her to identify her real father instead.
When asked to provide proof of the DNA results, the singer allegedly responded that the tests were carried out in hospitals agreed upon by both sides — all yielding negative outcomes. Still, the drama didn’t end there. Anuoluwapo’s mother has since hinted at involving the U.S. State Department to arrange an independent test.
The exchange reportedly closed with Davido delivering a blunt final line now echoing across social media:
“It will be clear in the results. Don’t worry. I’m not your dad. Sorry.”
