You can’t intimidate us – Ayo Labinjoh fires back at Davido’s father

Following Dr Adedeji Adeleke’s public declaration that Davido is not the biological father of young Anuoluwapo, the child’s mother, Ayo Labinjoh, has issued a strongly worded response

Labinjoh reacted through Anu Adeleke’s Instagram page, directly addressing the billionaire businessman and accusing him of intimidation, abuse of influence, and misrepresentation of events surrounding the long-running paternity dispute.

In her statement, she expressed shock over claims that her sister, Titilayo Labinjoh, had been in communication with Dr Adeleke since the COVID-19 pandemic. According to her, Titilayo only called their mother recently from Abuja, saying she felt uncomfortable with the media attention Anu was receiving at her workplace. Their mother reportedly advised her to ignore the noise, insisting Anu’s situation should not be reduced to office gossip. Labinjoh questioned why concern was being shown for her sister’s discomfort while Anu herself continued to endure intense public scrutiny.

She also alleged that members of the Adeleke camp claimed her sister had been in contact with them since 2020 and questioned whether her personal phone number had been shared with Davido without her consent. Labinjoh described the situation as betrayal and referenced Matthew 10:36 while expressing disbelief that a family member could allegedly be used against them.

Clarifying issues around Anu’s social media presence, Labinjoh said the Instagram page was opened by Dr Kemi Olunloyo in 2019 using publicly available photos and images she personally shared. She explained that she is not an active social media user and did not post on the account for four years, only resuming activity in 2023 during Anu’s 10th birthday photoshoot. She added that she no longer lives in Ibadan, while Anu resides with her grandmother, Mrs Ropo Labinjoh. She said she is a trader who frequently travels to border countries to source goods and denied claims of coordinated online activity.

Labinjoh further stated that there was never a time her sister asked Dr Kemi to stop posting about Anu, noting that neither her sister nor her mother has direct contact with Dr Kemi, despite her continued posts. She acknowledged that Dr Kemi once held a press conference and handled public relations during their 2018 appeal but stressed they are no longer in touch.

Turning directly to Dr Adeleke, Labinjoh told him he had no right to speak on Davido’s behalf, insisting the singer should address her personally if he has anything to say. She rejected comparisons to other public paternity cases and accused the Adeleke family of using wealth and influence to intimidate her. She described Davido as “a boy and not a man” and alleged that money was used to turn a member of her family into a spy.

She issued a grave warning, stating that if anything happened to her, her daughter, or her mother, the police should hold Dr Adeleke responsible.

Labinjoh also denied claims that she and Anu met with Dr Adeleke in 2020 for additional DNA tests, insisting no such meeting ever took place. She said the last time she saw Davido’s cousin, BRed, was in February 2013 when he dined at her place of work, GQ Club, in Ibadan, and maintained that Anu has never met him. She added that Dr Kemi once suggested during an interview that she may have slept with BRed, a claim she said was now circulating publicly.

She concluded by challenging Dr Adeleke to release the DNA test results he referenced.

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”
