Davido Surprises Daughter Imade with iPhone 16, Apple Watch During Shopping Trip, Sparks Online Debate

Award-winning Nigerian artist Davido has stirred conversations online after sharing a video of his shopping trip with his daughter, Imade Adeleke, during which he gifted her a brand-new iPhone 16 and Apple Watch.

The heartwarming moment was posted to his Instagram Story, showing the superstar fulfilling a promise he had previously made to his 10-year-old daughter. In the clip, Imade is seen choosing the gadgets herself at a tech store, while Davido playfully remarks, “Children never forget promises.”

The gesture comes just weeks after Davido’s highly publicized wedding, an event that generated some controversy over Imade’s absence. The latest video appears to be a bonding moment between father and daughter, signaling a reaffirmation of their close relationship.

“I promised her, and I had to fulfill it,” Davido captioned one of the video clips.

While many fans praised the father-daughter connection and Davido’s dedication, others expressed concern over the type of gifts given to a child of her age.

“She’s too young for an iPhone 16, let alone an Apple Watch,” one Instagram user commented.
“This is cute, but is it really necessary?” another wrote.

Still, a significant portion of Davido’s fanbase defended the move, calling it a father’s right to spoil his child however he sees fit.

“She’s his daughter, and he’s got the means. Let him do what makes her happy,” a fan responded.

The video has since gone viral, generating widespread buzz across social media platforms.
