Davido Spends $3.7M on Lavish Miami White Wedding with Chioma

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, known as Davido, revealed he spent $3.7 million (approximately ₦5.9 billion) in cash on his white wedding to Chioma Rowland, set for August 9, 2025, in Miami, Florida. In a viral video from a lively bar gathering, Davido, dressed casually in a sleeveless black shirt, laughed as he told friends, “We spent $3.7 million cash on the wedding, so we should know what we are doing,” prompting cheers. The wedding, dubbed #Chivido2025, follows their court wedding in March 2023 and traditional ceremony in Lagos in June 2024, which drew high-profile guests like the Ooni of Ife and Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The couple arrived in Miami on August 6 via a private jet adorned with floral decorations and a “MRS” chair, kicking off festivities with a Havana Night-themed pre-wedding party attended by stars like Zlatan, Adekunle Gold, and Tunde Ednut. Clips shared on Instagram by @isrealdmw showed Chioma in a white cut-out dress and Davido in a cowboy hat, with signage reading “Chivido. Miami. 2025.” The event, described as a five-day beachfront spectacle, has sparked debate on X, with users like @omoola_7777 defending Davido’s spending as his choice, while others, including Delta State aide Ossai Success Ovie, criticized it as “a waste of money” given the prior lavish traditional wedding.

Davido’s claim, reported by outlets like Pulse Nigeria and Channels Television, underscores the event’s grandeur, with Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle, among the confirmed high-profile guests. The wedding reinforces Davido’s status as a global Afrobeats icon, blending Nigerian culture with international luxury, though some question the expenditure’s necessity amidst economic challenges in Nigeria.
