Controversial commentator Kemi Olunloyo has triggered widespread backlash online after making inflammatory claims involving the young twins of Nigerian music star Davido, amid the ongoing paternity dispute surrounding 13 year old Anu Adeleke.

The latest development follows a press conference held in Lagos on January 21, 2026, by Davido’s father, billionaire businessman Dr Deji Adeleke, where he addressed the controversy publicly for the first time.

Deji Adeleke Presents DNA Results, Accuses Olunloyo of Defamation

At the briefing, Dr Adeleke stated that five separate DNA tests conducted at different times and facilities all concluded that Davido is not the biological father of Anu Adeleke. According to him, the tests were jointly supervised, with representatives from both families present during sample collection and documentation.

Dr Adeleke further alleged that Kemi Olunloyo has been fueling the controversy through what he described as false narratives and impersonation, accusing her of operating or influencing anonymous social media accounts to keep the issue trending.

He maintained that the family had initially avoided public engagement to protect the child involved, but felt compelled to respond after what he described as escalating misinformation and harassment.

In response, Kemi Olunloyo released a series of videos on X, rejecting the Adeleke family’s claims and insisting that the DNA process was compromised. She went further by making unverified and highly controversial statements about Davido’s twins, referencing their speech development and making insinuations that drew immediate criticism.

Medical professionals and child advocates were quick to point out that autism cannot be diagnosed casually or through online observation, especially in very young children, and that such discussions should never be weaponised during personal disputes.

Olunloyo’s comments were widely condemned for involving minors who are not connected to the paternity case.

Social media reaction was swift and intense. Many Nigerians expressed outrage over the decision to bring innocent children into a highly public feud, describing the remarks as reckless and harmful.

Several users called for legal consequences, stressing that children’s health, development, or medical status should never be discussed publicly without consent. Others urged authorities and relevant institutions to examine whether the statements crossed legal boundaries related to defamation and child protection.

While some online commentators focused on the credibility of the DNA claims, a larger portion of the conversation shifted to the ethical implications of dragging minors into adult conflicts.

As of the time of this report, Davido has not made a new public statement addressing the latest remarks, and no legal filing has been officially confirmed against Olunloyo.
