DNA Tests Clear Davido in Paternity Dispute, Adeleke Family Confirms

Nigerian music superstar Davido (David Adeleke) has been cleared by multiple DNA tests in a long‑running paternity dispute, his family confirmed, even as renewed claims have surfaced on social media.

Speaking publicly, billionaire businessman Dr. Deji Adeleke, Davido’s father, said that no fewer than five separate DNA tests all showed zero biological connection between his son and the girl at the centre of the dispute. He described the renewed allegations as “unnecessary” and stressed that scientific evidence must be respected in resolving such matters.

Dr. Adeleke also disclosed that he had previously supported the girl’s welfare, including education expenses, but maintained that DNA results are conclusive. The singer himself has rejected calls for further testing, emphasizing that prior results have already established the truth.

The case resurfaced after the teenager appealed on social media for a fresh DNA test, claiming Davido is her father. Her mother, however, insists the tests were flawed and has suggested an independent test, even proposing involvement by US authorities, citing Davido’s American citizenship.

The dispute has reignited social media debate, highlighting issues of celebrity privacy, transparency in DNA testing, and the emotional impact of public paternity controversies.
