NOT A LONELY 70TH AFTER ALL... DAVIDO’S FATHER, CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY IN ATLANTA

-

Billionair­e mogul, David Adeleke, cannot bear to regard himself simply as a plaything of blind chance; he cannot admit to feeling abandoned even though he goes through life alone, without the proverbial better half. The billionair­e mogul and father of hip hop crooner, Davido, just clocked 70 and contrary to his hopes few years ago, he is alone, without a wife. The billionair­e magnate celebrated his 70th anniversar­y in Atlanta, USA, with his children. And he bought himself the 2017 Bentley to celebrate the big 70. But unfortunat­ely, no woman was with him on that day. You couldn’t have forgotten so soon that Adeleke lost his first wife, Veronica, about 11 years ago. She died of cancer. He later remarried but it didn’t last. They divorced. No man wishes to endure his twilight without a companion

he could call “wife,” “true love” or “soul mate in life’s final lap,” not even Adeleke perhaps but the billionair­e magnate has never made moves to reconcile with his wife, Adepeju. He reportedly sought divorce because friends and family members were against the union although close friends and relatives of the magnate alleged that his children were actually the mastermind­s of his decision to break up his marriage with Adepeju.

Four years after his late wife, Davido’s mother, died of cancer in 2003, Adeleke married Adepeju. But since their marriage in 2007, he and his new wife had repeatedly found it difficult to curry the favour and acceptance of his children. Davido and his siblings allegedly opposed his marriage with Adepeju. The suit for divorce was allegedly filed by Adeleke in March 2014 while the case began in June of the same year in an Osun State High Court.
