Nigerian movie maker and musician, Dr. Ola Balogun, has waded into Davido and his baby mama saga.

The veteran film maker, via a letter to the Nation, addressing Davido’s baby mama saga, expressed disappointment, and condemned in totality, the role played by Ovation magazine boss, Dele Momodu

He also charged Sophia Momodu to get a job to support her lifestyle, and not turn Davido into an Automated Teller Machine, ATM.

The letter reads in part:

“I was heartbroken to read about what young Mr. Adeleke has been going through at the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Dele Momodu and their neice (or cousin?).

“If Davido’s account is true, the activities of the Momodus deserve to be roundly condemned by all right-thinking Nigerians.

“Shouldn’t the baby’s interests be paramount? As for the mother of the baby, she should be thoroughly ashamed of herself for having inflicted so much pain and suffering on her child as a result of her alleged drug habits.

“If I understand rightly, the young lady is able-bodied. Why doesn’t she go and seek gainful employment somewhere, instead of partying all over the place and expecting the father of her child to pick up extravagant bills?

“Why must she consider Davido a personal ATM that is there to cough up money on demand at each instant? It is really too bad!”.

“In conclusion, one must congratulate Davido for the deep maturity, sense of responsibility, decency, forbearance and manliness he has displayed all through this terrible ordeal.”

“Unknown to him, he has proved himself to be more than old enough and mature enough to be equal to the task of being a father.”

“I hope and pray for Imade’s good health and future happiness and well-being,” the first generation film maker wrote.

The Headies organisers are definitely not happy with the events that unfolded at its 2015 edition which held on the 1st of January, 2016.

Here is a press statement to that effect, read below:

We are proud of what we have achieved over the years. The Headies stage has birthed the careers of many artistes who are of A-list status today.

We are also glad that we have reinstated pride and prestige into the winning of a locally organised music awards and, we have celebrated artistic ingenuity for 10 straight years; a feat no other group before us was able to achieve.

Every year, the screening team collate all creative materials released in the year in review and screen for nomination. This tedious process goes on for at least three months before the screening team comes out with a final list.

The voting categories, such as ‘Song Of The Year’, ‘Artist Of The Year’, & ‘Next-Rated’ are left strictly for fans to vote and choose the winners. We wish to say categorically that we do not tamper with the outcome of the voting process.

The limit of our involvement in this voting process is to advice the nominees to engage their fans and solicit for their votes. We do not accept any responsibility for failure on the part of the nominees or their record label, when they fail to do this.

Unfortunately, most times, Voting, Year In Review and Definitions Of Each Category, are generally taken for granted by many artists.

We can also attest to, and hereby state categorically that, there is no evidence that any of the artistes aggrieved and vocal about their displeasure to the turnout of the award, voted in the ‘Next-Rated’ category, as our voting process captures email addresses and phone numbers.

We have ensured that the awards happened regardless of sponsorship, and that it gets better with each passing year, without giving excuses about challenges. We may not have gotten everything 100% right, but integrity has been our watch-word.

The 109 Nigerian artistes that have won can attest to the fact that they did nothing different from those that have not. Awards by nature, are and will always remain, controversial except every nominee gets one.

We try to ensure that winners are within reach before announcing their category, as the whole essence of celebrating talents will be defeated without that.

While it is not out of place for an artiste or a party to vent their disapproval, we strongly condemn all kinds of improper conduct and the use of profanity on live television.

In the same manner, we condemn provocative comments. In all, we see no use or reason for a disgruntled artiste or party to destroy valuable properties put in place to give them extra comfort before they perform or come on stage.

This is totally unacceptable and will be addressed.

We congratulate all nominees and winners of The Headies 2015 and wish them a more successful 2016.

Headies Secretariat.
