Anita Brown, Davido’s soon-to-be baby mama, has spoken out about their relationship.
The report that the Nigerian Afrobeats star impregnated the American businesswoman surfaced on Tuesday. A tirade of criticism from fans and followers has since hit the superstar, who married Chioma Rowland in March last year.
In a series of posts on her Instagram status, Brown said she is not speaking up for clout and that they met in Dubai in 2017, and what they had was not a one-off affair.
“I’ve been famous all of my life from preschool & on. I’ve never had to expose nobody famous; y’all never even heard my business in relation to any of those kinds of categories because it’s unnecessary for me,” her post began.
“But what is now necessary for me is to speak up for myself ’cause I won’t let people throw dirt on my name, lie, or play with my integrity or name.”
She said she had no idea he was married.
“I did not know he was married, on God. Go to his page, does it look like he is married. I’m confused. Rest in peace to the child. People knew he had a baby, but nobody knew he was married.
“I’m in America. Nobody knew. I wasn’t checking for it because I’m not looking to get married. I’m not looking for that right now. I wasn’t searching for. I wasn’t digging, and then I found out after the fact that I’m pregnant,” she said
Since the news of the pregnancy broke, Davido, who is yet to comment on the issue, has been the subject of ridicule among Nigerian internet users.
Among the many memes used to mock the singer is his induction into the bald-headed men’s Hall of Fame.
The premise is that bald men are known to cheat on their wives. Prominent members of the club include 2baba, who is known to have multiple kids outside wedlock; Yul Edochie, who recently took a second wife; and Banky W, who was rumoured to be having an affair with his ‘bestie,’ who is now pregnant with his child.
Davido is the latest inductee into the hall of fame.
The singer has two children: Imade Adeleke, born to Sophia Momodu, and Veronica Adeleke, from his third babymama, Amanda.
His son, Ifeanyi, tragically drowned in September 2022, aged three.
