Sophia Momodu says public shame hit her hard after she became pregnant with Davido outside marriage. At a UN gathering in New York, the Nigerian influencer and businesswoman described years of mockery, harsh comments, and emotional strain tied to the pregnancy.
Part of the backlash centered on her family background. As a pastor’s daughter, Momodu said people judged her heavily for having a baby before marriage, and the nonstop criticism damaged her confidence.
For years, speaking freely became difficult, even with her public profile. And silence kept getting pushed on her because others treated the story as something shameful. She later began finding her voice again after dealing with the pressure.
