Sophia Momodu, the mother of Afrobeats superstar Davido's first child, has issued a stern warning to the public to stop referring to her with a title she no longer claims. The socialite and fashionista recently opened up about a jarring encounter that prompted her to speak out.
A Public Encounter Sparks a Firm Response
During a live video session, Sophia Momodu recounted an incident where a male content creator spotted her in public and loudly addressed her as 'OBO's wife.' OBO is a popular nickname for the music icon Davido. Sophia described her reaction as one of surprise and immediate correction.
She emphasized that this label is not only incorrect but also disrespectful to the current marital status of Davido and his wife, Chioma Adeleke, widely known as Chef Chi. "A content creator saw me outside and he was like, 'OBO's wife.' I said, 'Where?' Wrong female, because that's not me," Sophia stated in the now-viral clip.
Sophia Momodu's Plea for Boundaries and Peace
Sophia Momodu used the platform to make a broader appeal for respect and privacy. She stressed that all parties involved have moved on and found happiness, and such references disrupt their peace.
"Let's respect people's marriages. If people have moved on, allow them to move on in peace. Everyone is happy and at peace, so allow us to move on in peace," she pleaded. In a lighter moment hinting at her own current happiness, she added, "If you people don't leave this in 2025, I won't tell you I am with a man that makes me happy. One man dey shack me like ogogoro."
Mixed Reactions from Netizens Trail Her Statement
The video, shared on December 30, 2025, quickly sparked a wave of mixed reactions online. While some users supported her call for respect, others criticized her for even addressing the issue publicly.
Here are some of the notable comments compiled from social media:
- queeny_deroyale: "Sophie I love you but This gist shouldn't have left that exact place it happened. So Embarrassing!"
- mhizoti: "Nobody called you that babe, nobody!"
- callme_tee7: "She wants to be the wife so bad btw."
- maxwell_maxwell_2025: "She wanted the title so badly… since it didn't come officially, she helped herself to it."
This incident comes just weeks after Sophia Momodu was in the news for addressing matters concerning the custody and financial support for her daughter, Imade Adeleke, with Davido. She had also previously spoken out against constant comparisons between her and Chioma.
In a related display of clapping back at critics, Legit.ng recalled that Sophia Momodu recently fired back at a netizen who attempted to mock her for an alleged replica Birkin bag. Her sharp reply was: "Y'all, this obsession with trying to humble me is actually insane. I'm too conceited, try another lifetime."
Sophia Momodu's latest statement underscores the ongoing public scrutiny faced by personalities linked to celebrities and her attempt to firmly establish her own identity separate from her past relationship.
