A teen girl, Anu Adeleke, has gone public on social media asking Davido, the Nigerian music star, for a DNA test. She claims she’s his oldest daughter. Her Instagram post on January 15, 2026, has gotten a lot of attention and brought back an old debate about her paternity that started years ago.
Anu says she’s just a regular teen who wrote the message herself, without anyone pressuring her. She says she’s speaking up now because she wants to know who she is as she gets older.
Anu says she’s been having a tough time for years. She got picked on at school since she was six after telling her classmates that Davido was her dad. She says the teasing really got to her, so she saw a doctor to help her deal with it. Through all of that, she focused on school and ended up being a top student and even became her class prefect.
She also mentioned that her social media page has been quiet for about five years because her mom didn’t want to update it during a hard time for their family. Anu says she doesn’t talk about her family at school anymore, even though she’s still doing well in high school.
In her message, Anu directly and politely asked Davido to take a DNA test. She said it’s about her wanting to know who she is and that the test is the right thing to do for her own peace of mind. She also said she sent the same message to him in a private message.
The claim that Davido is Anu’s father goes back to 2018. Back then, Davido’s people said that DNA tests didn’t prove he was the father. That’s been the official word from Davido ever since, and no new test has been mentioned.
As of now, Davido hasn’t responded to Anu’s request. The singer, who everyone knows has four kids, has been keeping his family life private lately and hasn’t addressed these claims online.
Anu ended her message by thanking Nigerian,s who she says have been supportive for the past seven years. She ended with a hopeful message and said she hopes her request will be considered.
The post has gotten all sorts of reactions on social media. Some people feel bad for Anu and want things to be resolved fairly, while others say everyone should be careful and remember that paternity issues are tricky, ky and it’s important to have facts. Legal experts are saying that a DNA test is really the only way to know for sure.
Right now, Davido hasn’t answered Anu, so her request is still up in the air. This whole thing shows how emotional these claims can be, especially when it involves a young person trying to figure out who she is in the public eye.
