Adedeji Adeleke, father of Afrobeats sensation Davido, has revealed the extensive steps taken to verify the paternity of 12-year-old Anuoluwapo amid swirling social media allegations.

The controversy erupted earlier this year when the young girl publicly appealed for a DNA test, claiming emotional distress from online bullying about her alleged connection to the music superstar.

In a detailed account, Dr. Adeleke explained how the family orchestrated multiple scientific examinations to uncover the truth: “We didn’t just conduct one test – we arranged four simultaneous DNA analyses across different clinics to eliminate any doubt,” he stated.

The family patriarch recalled the initial shock when first learning about the potential grandchild: “A mysterious package arrived in 2014 containing birth documents listing both parents with the Adeleke surname – that immediately raised red flags for me.”

Dr. Adeleke described the meticulous verification process: “We used saliva samples analyzed in South Africa, with all parties present when opening the results. Transparency was our priority throughout this sensitive matter.”

The grandmother’s heartfelt letter, included in the original package, pleaded for acknowledgment: “As a widow struggling to raise my daughters, I simply sought confirmation of my granddaughter’s lineage from the Adeleke family.”

Addressing rumors about possible mistaken identity with Davido’s cousin, Dr. Adeleke clarified: “We conducted separate tests for B-Red to completely rule out any confusion – no stone was left unturned in this investigation.”

Adedeji Adeleke, the billionaire father of Afrobeats sensation Davido, has revealed the extensive measures taken by the family to verify the paternity claims surrounding 12-year-old Anuoluwapo.

The controversy erupted in January when the young girl publicly appealed for a DNA test, alleging that Davido (born David Adeleke) is her biological father after enduring years of online harassment.

In an exclusive interview, Dr. Adeleke disclosed that the family conducted multiple forensic examinations to resolve the matter conclusively. “We didn’t leave anything to chance,” he stated. “When social media personality Kemi Olunloyo suggested the child might belong to B-Red (Davido’s cousin), we implemented a rigorous testing protocol.”

The business magnate outlined their meticulous approach: “We arranged for four simultaneous tests at different facilities – two for David and two for Bayo (B-Red). The family selected independent clinics to ensure absolute transparency in the process.”

Dr. Adeleke recounted the initial discovery of the paternity claim: “In 2014, I received a mysterious DHL package from Ibadan containing photographs of a toddler, David with the child, and a birth certificate listing the parents as ‘Adeleke David’ and ‘Adeleke Ayoomide.’ The surname discrepancy immediately raised questions.”

The package included an emotional plea from the child’s grandmother: “She described being a struggling widow who believed your son fathered her grandchild after an encounter during his Ibadan concert. As a father, I knew we had to investigate properly.”

The family’s investigation involved sophisticated DNA analysis: “We used saliva samples processed in South Africa to maintain chain of custody. The grandmother, mother, and I all witnessed the sealed samples being dispatched and later reviewed the results together.”
