{EXCLUSIVE STORY} Meet Omawumi’s Baby Daddy Tosin Yussuf

In 2011 when news broke that singer Omawumi was pregnant, the question that immediately followed was ‘who’s the daddy?’ The identity of her baby’s father was shrouded in mystery, and as such, several random names began to fly around including a popular south-south governor.

She welcomed her first child Emmanuella Kamillah Yusuf on Saturday, June 18, 2011 in the U.S and new reports surfaced in the media claiming that Tosin Yusuf, one time co-owner of Zamunda night club was actually Kamillah’s father.

All through this period, Omawumi kept her cool and refused to reveal the father of her daughter. But her close friend, and daughter’s godmother, Waje dropped a hint when she mentioned Tosin Yusuf in a tweet on May 7th, 2013, saying: ‘you don’t even care what your silky stories would be doing to her. Tosin Yussuf is fine and well, leave the poor girl alone. Tufiakwa!!!’.

At this point, keen observers knew his name, but all efforts to unmask the face behind the name by the media have since yielded no positive results. In late 2013, Omawumi herself released a blurry picture on instagram of her nuclear family that included herself, her daughter and Tosin Yussuf, with the caption ‘Thank you so much for your patience. Clearer photos and good news sooner than you know. God is always good’.

Shortly afterwards, another picture of Omawumi and 5 men surfaced online, and those in the know claimed that Omawumi’s boo is one of the men. Our investigation has now officially unmasked Omawumi’s boo and father of her daughter ‘Tosin Ibrahim Yussuf.’
