Singer Davido’s Baby Mama, Sophia Momodu, has described the night that her “mentality as a single parent” changed. She did not elaborate further.
The single mother-of-one, however, stated this in a Snapchat post where she recalled the night her baby took ill and the baby’s dad was nowhere as to render any help.
She said the situation changed her mentality as a single parent.
In the Snapchat post, Sophia narrated how Imade, her daughter with Davido, fell ill in the middle of the night and was hospitalized a year ago, precisely on February 9, 2023.
She rushed the child to the hospital at 1 am, she claimed; and that it was only her close friends who visited her at the hospital while her daughter’s treatment lasted.
She described Tiwa Savage as “one of my support systems,” adding that she was the first person to respond to her need for support.
She said her perspective of a single parent changed that night, adding that parenting should be a collective effort.
According to her, “One year ago today my whole world felt like it was crumbling around me..my child was so sick..at 1 am she needed to be rushed to the hospital. In my panic state I called Savo she was recording Stamina that night, she showed up in less than 10mins.
“Rushed us to the hospital.. she jst kept saying ‘breathe, I’m here.. Imade is fine. You’re not alone.’ Hmm that day I realised jst how powerful my support system was. Rima showed up in 5mins, DSF showed up 30mins after we got to the hospital followed by Kanayo, then my family. The hospital was packed. This night changed my mentality as a single parent forever. 2 things: 1, it truly takes a village God don’t play about his own.”
In a follow-up post, she said she could not sleep for two days because “I just wanted to take my baby’s pain away”.
“She woke up at 5am & said mummy pls come lay next to me my baby always in good spirits.. I didn’t sleep for 48hrs straight,” she added.
Davido, Sophia, and Tiwa Savage were recently in the public eye over an Instagram post involving Imade.
Last month, Tiwa Savage filed a petition detailing alleged harassment from Davido following her interaction with Sophia.
A few days later, Sophia also threatened to take legal action against the singer over an alleged threat to life, cyberbullying, and harassment.
Last June, she revealed her plans to change their daughter Imade’s surname to the maternal grandfather’s name Momodu.
