On August 9, 2025, Afrobeats star David Adeleke, known as Davido, married Chioma Rowland in a lavish $3.7 million (₦5.9 billion) white wedding at a beachfront venue in Miami, Florida, following their traditional ceremony in Lagos in June 2024. The #Chivido2025 event, attended by Nigerian luminaries like Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke, Aliko Dangote, and music stars Adekunle Gold, Teni, Zlatan Ibile, and Tunde Ednut, was a five-day spectacle that began with a Havana Night-themed pre-wedding party on August 6.
Davido paid a heartfelt tribute to his late son, Ifeanyi, who tragically drowned in 2022, by wearing custom-made cufflinks bearing his image, sharing a photo of the accessory on his Instagram Story during the celebration.
The star-studded wedding, reported by Vanguard News and Pulse Nigeria, drew praise on X for its elegance, with users like @Dami4reigne noting Davido’s emotional nod to Ifeanyi as a “beautiful gesture.” Videos showed Chioma in a white gown and Davido in a tailored suit, with performances by Teni and others. The couple’s arrival via private jet, decorated with “MRS” signage, and the event’s floral arrangements amplified its grandeur. Despite some criticism over the cost, fans celebrated the union as a testament to Davido and Chioma’s resilience and love.
