Ovation Magazine and Boss Newspaper publisher, Dele Momodu has discussed the issue between him and pop star Davido in a recent interview saying he expected the singer to abuse him.

Mr Momodu went on to state that he sees Davido as his son as a result he has let everything slide.

It will be recalled that on the remix of the HumbleSmith song Osinachi, the singer made reference to a Dubai trip which allegedly caused the scuffle between him, his baby-mama, Sophia and Dele Momodu earlier in the year, a clear indication that things went out of hand between all the parties involved.

But Mr. Momodu has revealed in an exclusive with City People magazine that he and the Adelekes are like family, adding that he is friends with Davido’s father.

The publisher explained that Davido felt he was supporting Sophia (his cousin with whom the singer has a child) hence his actions. He also blamed the devil for everything, adding that all he wanted was for peace to reign.

He said: “I saw the thriller for few seconds before that but I never bothered to go out of my way to watch it as I actually thought he was abusing me and I expected him to abuse me but when someone is like your son, you just have to let it pass.

"Whether we like it or not, we are like family. His Dad and I have known each other like forever. The devil is a liar, when good things are happening, the devil will want to come in between it and all. I saw it on-line first as people were tweeting about it and I initially said, well, he is abusing me, no problem.

"You know several times in the past, he will attack me and apologize. I understand how he feels, he feels I am supporting my cousin against him and that is not it. All I wanted was just peace and I am happy we got it.”

On the current state of things between both families, Momodu said stated that everyone is fine. He added that all he wanted was for the Adelekes to acknowledge Sophia Momodu as the mother of the child.

He also lauded Davido’s father calling him a ‘perfect gentleman’.

He said: "Everybody is fine, all we wanted was just for them to acknowledge the mother of the baby and I have to say that Davido’s father was a perfect gentle man. What usually happened was that some people will go to them and tell them something and still come to us to feed us too. People just wanted trouble at all cost but God prevailed.”

It will be recall that Davido, Sophia Momodu and Dele Momodu made the headlines in January 2016 over several claims and counter claims over the custody of baby, Imade.
