LagosExplorer reports: Nigerian music superstar Davido has set social media abuzz after revealing that his white wedding to longtime partner Chioma Rowland in Miami cost a staggering $3.7 million, paid entirely in cash.
The Afrobeat sensation, whose real name is David Adeleke, made the revelation during conversations in the United States ahead of the high-profile event, which followed the couple’s traditional wedding in Lagos in June 2024. Speaking with characteristic confidence, Davido said: “I have spent $3.7 million cash. So we should know what we are doing. We are going crazy.”
The Miami celebration marks the latest chapter in Davido and Chioma’s widely followed love story. The couple met during their time at Babcock University, and their relationship has since been in the public eye, earning them the affectionate nickname “Assurance Couple” after Davido released his hit song “Assurance” in her honour in 2018.
Over the years, they have experienced both joyous and heartbreaking moments, including the tragic loss of their young son in 2022. Their resilience in overcoming personal challenges has only deepened public interest and admiration, making their wedding more than just a celebrity affair — it became a moment of national attention.
The Miami event was a blend of Nigerian elegance and American luxury. While official photos from the ceremony are yet to be fully released, sources close to the family describe a meticulously planned occasion attended by high-profile guests from the entertainment industry, politics, and business.
Industry analysts note that Davido’s willingness to spend millions reflects not only his personal taste but also his position as one of Africa’s most successful entertainers. His career spans multiple hit singles, sold-out concerts on global stages, and lucrative endorsements with major international brands. This financial success has given him the means to host one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings in recent Nigerian history.
