She clarified the singer’s financial status at the time of their first meeting and called for an independent DNA test to resolve lingering questions.

Labinjoh said Davido was not wealthy when they met in 2013, describing him as an upcoming artist and the son of a businessman.

Their first encounter reportedly took place at the Dami Duro concert after-party in Ibadan.

She stressed that public narratives suggesting otherwise were misleading.

The mother also criticised media personalities for their handling of the dispute.

Labinjoh urged broadcaster Daddy Freeze to encourage Davido to undertake an independent DNA test rather than publicly defending him.

She questioned why journalist and family associate Dele Momodu had not intervened in the matter.

Labinjoh recounted past interactions with Davido, including his sending of money on the day of Anu Adeleke’s naming ceremony in November 2013, and alleged that investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo has sent ₦300,000 annually to them since 2018.

Highlighting the emotional toll on her daughter, Labinjoh emphasised that children like Anu, when abandoned or treated unfairly, often express themselves vocally, a fact she felt the public misunderstood.

She noted that five DNA tests had allegedly been conducted over the years, covering Anu and her half-siblings: Anu Adeleke (September 2014), Imade Adeleke (June 2015), Hailey Adeleke (May 2017), Dawson Adeleke (June 2021), and Ivanna Bayy (June 2023).

Labinjoh also claimed that Davido attempted to contact her via video call during his 2025 Ibadan tour, questioning whether the communication was genuinely for a DNA test or prompted by social media activity.

Concluding her statement, Labinjoh reaffirmed her faith in God and thanked the support of USIN Nigeria.

Lizzy Anjorin Questions Court Order Over Priscilla Ojo’s Son

Published

on

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.

Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.

The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.

“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.

Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.

An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.

Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.

Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.

The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.

In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.

BBNaija Kess Says Big Brother Makes Life Harder

Published

on

Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.

“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.

The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.

Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.

His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.

Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.

However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
