Afrobeats star David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has refuted allegations suggesting he is the father of a teenage girl who recently demanded a DNA test to confirm her paternity.
The singer clarified that he has never been involved in any personal relationship with the girl’s mother, adding that his first and only interaction with them occurred during the DNA testing exercise.
Davido revealed that a total of five DNA tests were carried out across different medical centers.

“This is the last time I will speak on this matter,” the singer said, insisting that the issue should be considered settled based on the medical findings.
