Veteran journalist and publisher, Dele Momodu, says quiet moves are already underway to calm the tension between Afrobeats superstar Davido and his former partner, Sophia Momodu.
Momodu shared the update in a social media post from Liberia, where he had travelled to commiserate with former Liberian Vice President Jewel Howard‑Taylor over the passing of her only child, Charles Philip Neilson Taylor Jr.
According to him, ever since he landed in Liberia, his inbox has been flooded with messages from Davido’s fans and supporters of Sophia, all begging him to wade into the ongoing dispute between the pair.
Responding to one of the appeals, Momodu offered reassurance and hinted that private talks are in motion.
“Nothing to worry about. Everything is going to be alright. We are working behind the scenes. Please keep everyone in your prayers,” he wrote.
He also noted that Davido is hugely loved in Liberia, saying the singer is treated there “like the god of music,” a reminder of just how far the artist’s influence and fan base stretch across Africa.
A very public fallout over a very personal issue
The rift between Davido and Sophia Momodu has dominated headlines and social media feeds in recent months, largely centred on co‑parenting and custody issues involving their daughter, Imade.
What started as private disagreements gradually spilt into the public space, eventually escalating into legal proceedings and sparking intense online debates. Fans and supporters on both sides have weighed in with strong, emotional takes — often turning Imade’s parents’ issues into trending topics and comment‑section wars.
Momodu, who is related to Sophia, has occasionally addressed the matter in the past, consistently calling for calm, restraint, and maturity from everyone involved.
Elders stepping in, tempers cooling down.
Following his latest message, reactions quickly surfaced online. Some fans expressed relief that respected elders like Momodu are working behind the scenes, seeing it as a sign that both families may be moving away from public back‑and‑forth and towards private conversations.
Others used the moment to again appeal for peace, urging Davido and Sophia to put their daughter’s emotional well‑being first and dial down the public drama.
Observers say Momodu’s tone — reassuring, measured, and hopeful — suggests that key conversations are already happening away from the cameras and court of public opinion. For many, it’s a welcome shift from the heated posts, court documents and online draggings that have defined the saga so far.
Silence from Davido and Sophia — but a hint of progress
So far, neither Davido nor Sophia has publicly reacted to Momodu’s new comments. Still, his assurance that “we are working behind the scenes” has been read by many as a positive sign that efforts at reconciliation and a more stable co‑parenting arrangement are quietly taking shape.
As fans continue to follow every update, the hope is simple: less noise, more healing — and a resolution that protects not just reputations and careers, but, most importantly, the peace and future of their daughter.
For now, the loudest thing may not be the tweets or the court documents, but the quiet work happening off‑camera — where real, lasting peace is usually built.
