After Dr Adedeji Adeleke publicly stated that Davido is not the biological father of young Anuoluwapo, the child’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh, has fired back with a strong response, defending her family and demanding transparency.
Labinjoh addressed the statement through Anu Adeleke’s Instagram page, directly confronting Dr Adeleke and rejecting any attempts at intimidation. She expressed shock at claims that her sister, Titilayo Labinjoh, had been in contact with the Adeleke family since the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Labinjoh, Titilayo only recently called their mother from Abuja to share her discomfort with the media attention surrounding Anu, which was affecting her workplace. Their mother reportedly advised her to ignore the distraction, reminding her that Anu’s story should not become office gossip.
She also clarified the history of Anu’s social media presence, explaining that the Instagram page posting about her daughter was initially set up by Dr Kemi Olunloyo in 2019 and included photos Labinjoh herself had shared. Labinjoh said she was inactive on social media for four years, only resuming posts in 2023 during Anu’s 10th birthday celebration. She stressed that she and her family are no longer in contact with Dr Kemi, despite the ongoing posts about Anu.
Labinjoh strongly denied Dr Adeleke’s claims that she and Anu met with him in 2020 for additional DNA tests, insisting that such a meeting never occurred. She noted that Anu has never met Davido’s cousin, BRed, and that she herself has not seen him since 2013. She challenged Dr Adeleke to publicly release the DNA test results he referenced, calling for transparency.
Accusing the Adeleke family of using wealth and influence to intimidate her, Labinjoh described Davido as “a boy and not a man” and alleged that money was used to coerce a family member to spy on them. She warned that if anything happened to her, her daughter, or her mother, Dr Adeleke should be held responsible. She also rejected claims regarding child support negotiations, insisting that only Davido himself has the authority to address her directly.
Labinjoh concluded her statement by asserting her family’s independence, defending Anu’s wellbeing, and demanding accountability from Dr Adeleke.
Her full statement read:
“DR DEJI ADELEKE: YOU CANNOT INTIMIDATE US SIR
To my shock my own sister Titi Labinjoh reportedly has been talking to Dr Deji Adeleke since the pandemic about what? Titi called here last week from Abuja telling our mom that she's scared about the media attention Anu is getting and that her coworkers keep bothering her. Our mom said she should ignore it as Anu's story does not belong as gossip on her office. What about Anu who has to endure everything? Titilayo my only sister singlehandedly raised alongside me by our mom went to the oppressors to collect money? How? Matthew 10:36. We are shocked they said she has been talking to them since 2020. Did you also give my number to David?
YES!! Dr Kemi opened this page and took photos online, those she took with Anu and some I posted myself. She handed the page to us in 2019. The gap is there. I'm not a social media user and I didn't post for 4 years. In 2023, I started to post on her 10th birthday photoshoot and I've logged on from many locations. I no longer live in Ibadan. Anu lives with my mom. I'm a trader by profession and buy my goods from border countries. There was no time Titi told Dr Kemi to stop posting about Anu. They don't have each others contact nor talk. My mom Mrs Ropo Labinjo also posts some of Anu's videos. We are not in touch with Dr Kemi even though she posts about us. She held a press conference and did public relations for us during our 2018 appeal.
SIR, as the Patriach of the family you should not be talking on David's behalf. I'm not Sophia negotiating child support etc. Let David address me. Your power and money is being abused here. David is obviously a boy and not a man. It took money for you to use a family member of ours to spy on us. If anything happens to me, my daughter and mom, the police should hold you responsible. Anu and I NEVER met with you in 2020 for 4 additional DNA tests. I have not seen BRed since the night when they dined at my place of work GQ club in Ibadan February 2013. Anu has never met BRed, Dr Kemi suspected I may have also slept with him as she asked me in my detailed interview which is now floating around. Post the tests sir.
Thank you
Ayo Labinjoh”
