LagosExplorer reports: Nigerian Afrobeats icon David Adeleke, globally known as Davido, has opened up about the joy of marrying his longtime love, Chioma Rowland, describing their Miami ceremony as nothing short of a “fairytale” and vowing that no rumour or criticism can ever diminish its beauty.
The superstar, who commands millions of fans across the world, took to his X account on August 14 to reminisce about their glamorous nuptials, which drew celebrity guests, industry colleagues, and loved ones from around the globe. In his post, Davido expressed unshakable pride in the event, calling it one of the most significant moments of his life and career.
“We had an amazing wedding — perfect, in fact! Me and my wife’s body still dey sweet us like this. Nothing una fit do, say, or make up will ever change the fact that we had a fairytale wedding,” Davido wrote, mixing English with playful Nigerian Pidgin to convey the depth of his happiness.
The lavish ceremony, which took place in Miami, Florida, was a spectacle of love and luxury. From the choice of venue to the intricate décor and star-studded guest list, the wedding captured international attention, trending across social media platforms for days. Fans and well-wishers flooded the couple’s pages with congratulatory messages, while media outlets chronicled every moment, from the exchange of vows to the electrifying after-party.
For Davido and Chioma, this union was more than a glamorous event — it was the culmination of years of a public love story that has endured both challenges and triumphs. The pair first met during their university days and went public with their relationship years later. Their romance faced periods of speculation, breakups, and reconciliation, but the strength of their bond remained evident.
Chioma, a professional chef and media personality, has been a steady figure in Davido’s life, often celebrated by the singer in his music and interviews. Their love story gained global attention in 2019 when Davido featured her in the music video for “Assurance,” a song he wrote in her honour. Since then, the couple has become one of Nigeria’s most recognisable celebrity duos.
While celebrity relationships often attract intense public scrutiny, Davido’s recent post shows his determination to rise above negativity and focus on the joy he shares with his wife. Entertainment analysts note that his openness about their happiness is a statement of intent — one that reinforces their image as a power couple in the Nigerian entertainment scene.
The singer’s global success, with multiple hit singles, international collaborations, and sold-out concerts, has made him one of Africa’s most influential cultural ambassadors. His wedding, covered by both local and international media, further placed Nigerian entertainment and culture in the global spotlight.
