The mother of Davido’s first daughter, Imade Adeleke, Sophie Momodu has disclosed the reason she celebrated the singer’s 30th birthday using a family photo that had all his three children.

Naija News reports that 7-year-old Imade via her Instagram on Monday celebrated her father’s birthday with a family photo of herself, the singer, and his other two kids, including the late Ifeanyi Adeleke.

Imade Adeleke had shared the photo with the caption: “Happy birthday daddy! I wish you peace, joy & love ❤️.
