Wednesday, September 23, 2026 - Internet personality Sophia Momodu has opened up about
becoming pregnant out of wedlock by singer, Davido, saying the experience left
her mocked and without a voice despite being famous.
Speaking at Colombia University, ahead of the United Nations General Assembly High level-week. Sophia said being a pastor’s daughter who had a child outside marriage was particularly difficult because of the stigma attached to it in Nigeria.
She said, “I am a pastor’s daughter who got pregnant out of
wedlock by a global superstar. And I was mocked. It was crazy. And I had to
find my strength in the midst of all of that. And for the longest time, I
didn't have a voice. I was famous, I was popular, but I didn't have a voice.”
Sophia said the negativity surrounding the story often drowned out her own voice, adding that she wanted her experience to be better understood.
She also recalled being asked by an aunt to remain silent
about the issue because it was considered a topic Black women were not expected
to discuss publicly.
According to her, sharing her story through different
international platforms helped her realise that she was not alone, as several
women reached out to share similar experiences.
