The Adeleke family and controversial investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo has officially reached a boiling point. Known for their “30 Billion Gang” wealth and deep political roots in Osun State, the Adelekes are no longer playing defense—they’re heading to court.
On January 21, 2026, Davido’s father, Dr. Deji Adeleke, held a rare press conference to debunk claims that Davido fathered a 12-year-old girl named Anu.He presented a recent DNA result showing 0.00% paternity and officially threatened to sue Olunloyo for impersonation and defamation, claiming she has been managing fake social media accounts for the child to harass his family.The Adeleke family claims that Kemi Olunloyo hasn’t just been reporting on them—they allege she has been “sponsoring” a mother of one of the children associated with the family to launch a harassment campaign.
The family’s legal team asserts that:The Adelekes have made it clear that they are seeking heavy damages and a permanent “cease and desist” from the blogger.The blogger is allegedly fueling “baseless and malicious” narratives regarding the family’s private lives. The family believes this is a coordinated effort to tarnish their reputation and emotional well-being.
Kemi Olunloyo has a storied history with the Adelekes, particularly with Afrobeats superstar Davido. From questioning paternity to commenting on family tragedies, Olunloyo has never shied away from the “OBO” dynasty. However, this shift from “social media bickering” to “formal legal action” suggests the family has reached its limit.
“There is a thin line between investigative journalism and targeted defamation. The Adelekes are clearly ready to draw that line in court.” — Entertainment Analyst.
Davido and his father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke, have built a massive legacy of music, philanthropy, and business. With Davido’s global brand at an all-time high, any “false claims” regarding his family are seen as a direct threat to his commercial interests and international image.
