The tension escalated after Davido announced his withdrawal from the case and publicly criticized the opposing legal team for alleged unprofessionalism.
In a strongly worded statement issued on February 16, 2026, the law firm representing Sophia Momodu addressed the “inflammatory public statements” and harassment directed at their partners.
While the firm declined to comment on the specific merits of the court case to maintain professional standards, they issued a stern warning against the intimidation of legal practitioners outside the courtroom.
The legal team described the social media commentary as a threat to the administration of justice, emphasizing that counsel should be allowed to perform their duties without fear of orchestrated public backlash.
This development follows Davido’s Instagram stories where he expressed frustration with the legal proceedings, leading to a polarized reaction among fans and observers online.
As the matter remains before a Lagos State court, the focus has shifted from the custody arrangements to the conduct of the parties and their representatives in the court of public opinion.
