Star-Studded
As expected, Davido’s grand wedding event was nothing short of a gathering of dignitaries from different walks of life.
The Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi was spotted at the ceremony, wearing his signature white dress and beaded crown.
A former governor of Akwa Ibom State Udom Emmanuel; ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo; Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State; his Ogun State counterpart Dapo Abiodun; Senator Daisy Danjuma of Edo South were among the leaders at the ceremony. The president’s son Seyi Tinubu also attended.
Celebrities like Patroranking; singer Paul Okoye better known as Rudeboy and others graced the occasion which had Ebuka Uchendu as the compere.
Long-Time Friends
Chioma’s friendship with Davido dates back several years. But their relationship only became official in 2018 when the singer confirmed it at a public function in October of that year.
The chef has been featured in several music videos by the singer with rumours of breakups popping up many times over the years.
A year later, photos of the introduction hit the social media space and in September 2019, Davido proposed to her at a private ceremony. Their wedding was expected to happen in 2020 (but called off due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
A Setback and Recovery
Rumours of Chioma being pregnant making the headlines – a claim that was denied. But in October, they welcomed a boy who they named Ifeanyi.
But in November 2022, the child died after a home accident just as he turned three.
In October 2023, after speculations, the Grammy nominee and Chioma welcomed a set of twins. A video of the parents stepping out of a hospital with their babies quickly went viral, spiking an outpour of congratulations from fans and celebrities.
Months after that, reports of a wedding between the singer and the chef surfaced. Davido weeks later confirmed the event, cementing years of friendship between him and Chioma.
