Award-winning Nigerian singer, Davido, has captured hearts once again—not with his music this time, but with his proud display of fatherhood. The Grammy-nominated star attended his daughter Imade’s school cultural day, where she represented their hometown, Ede, in Osun State.
Dressed in colourful traditional Yoruba attire, Imade confidently introduced herself as a Yoruba girl from Ede during the event. Davido, who was visibly proud, shared videos of the moment on social media, drawing praise from fans and followers.
The heartwarming event came just days after Davido reunited with Imade, following a reported two-year period of separation between him and her mother, Sophia Momodu. While details of their personal issues have remained mostly private, the singer’s recent efforts to spend time with his daughter have not gone unnoticed.
Social media was flooded with positive reactions, as many Nigerians praised Davido for actively participating in his daughter’s life and celebrating her cultural identity. The singer’s presence at the school event, where he smiled, filmed, and supported his daughter’s performance, struck a chord with parents and fans alike.
“Seeing a superstar like Davido proudly cheering his daughter, especially at a cultural event, is beautiful to watch,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “This is what parenting is about.”
The event also served as a platform to highlight Yoruba heritage and values, something that resonated strongly with the singer, who hails from Ede himself. By allowing Imade to connect with her roots and participate in cultural traditions, Davido reinforced the importance of passing down identity and pride in one’s background.
Cultural days are a common tradition in Nigerian schools, offering students the chance to showcase their ethnic heritage through dressing, music, dance, and storytelling. These events aim to promote unity, diversity, and respect for the country’s many cultures.
For Davido, who is currently enjoying global success in his music career, the moment was a powerful reminder that family and tradition remain close to his heart. The singer’s actions also earned praise for being a role model to other celebrity parents.
With more artists and public figures now taking part in their children’s lives publicly, moments like this help reshape the narrative around fatherhood and responsibility in the spotlight.
