Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu, has described his battle with singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, as the biggest of his life.
In a chat with housemates at the Celebrity Housemates reality TV show recently, the ace publisher said his two-year rift with Davido was bigger than his battle with the Nigeria’s former military Head of State, the late Gen. Sanni Abacha.

The duo got into a fight over custody issues of Davido’s and Sophie Momodu’s baby.
The matter blew into a war of words on social media between the two, with Davido even taking a dig at the publisher in one of his songs.

Mr Momodu said: “The Davido issue was my biggest battle ever. It was bigger than fighting Abacha because of the blistering popularity of David; he is an extremely popular guy and it was very unfortunate, because a baby was involved; very beautiful girl, Imade.
“When it happened, I tried to avoid a collision with the family because I am very close to the family especially because Ademola who is now a senator.
“We used to sleep in the same house when I was in exile in London. Whenever Ademola was around, he would call me and then pick me up to his house and I’ll sleep there and when I need to go back to my own house he would drop me.
“So when the baby issue came, I didn’t know about it, if Sophie (Davido’s first Babymama) didn’t tell me she was pregnant, I wouldn’t have known, she was able to hide it perfectly from everyone.”
