I was pained when Imade adopted Davido’s surname — Sophia Momodu

 

Sophia Momodu, the first baby mama of Nigerian pop star, Davido, has stated that she was aggrieved when their daughter, Imade Adeleke, took Davido’s last name and not hers.

Momodu made this disclosure via her Instagram Story on Tuesday as she reacted to a post about children bearing their mothers’ names.

Recall that Momodu and Davido had their daughter in 2015 and named her Imade Adeleke.

Sophia noted that she cried bitterly because her daughter could not bear her last name ‘Momodu’.

Momodu wrote, “I remember my Mom and aunties laughing at me when I was crying because my daughter’s last name wasn’t going to be Momodu.

“I was genuinely distraught. I was even arguing and everything, that they put her father’s full names and not a single letter from mine.

“Pulled out my feminist card and everything, Z! E pain me gan that year sha”.(sic)

Momodu further revealed that her mother made her understand that Imade should bear her father’s name so that she can gain from her father’s lineage and inheritance.

She wrote, “It made me shut up real quick, but I lowkey had so many questions.”
