On Sunday, August 10, 2025, Miami became the stage for one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year. Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, known globally as Davido, and his longtime love Chioma Rowland sealed their union in a lavish white wedding that blended romance, opulence, and just the right amount of Nigerian flair.
This wasn’t the beginning of their love story—far from it. The world has followed Davido and Chioma’s journey for years. From their engagement in 2019, to legally tying the knot in March 2023, to welcoming their twins in October of that same year, the couple’s story has played out under the full glare of the spotlight. They had already thrown a grand traditional wedding in Lagos in June 2024, but this Miami event was the grand finale—a celebration that would leave even the most seasoned wedding guest in awe.
Davido reportedly spared no expense, openly revealing that he spent a jaw-dropping $3.7 million in cash to bring the wedding to life. From the décor to the entertainment, every element was curated to deliver a world-class experience.
The event was private but not exactly low-key. Guests flew in from all over the world—music icons, political heavyweights, and industry titans. Among those spotted were Nigerian business magnate Aliko Dangote, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, and American gospel superstar Kirk Franklin. Not everyone made it, though; visa issues reportedly prevented some invited VIPs from attending in person.
Chioma, radiant in her wedding gown, embodied elegance. The exclusivity of her color choice made her presence even more striking, while Davido’s tailored suit reminded everyone that he knows how to play both the superstar and the gentleman. The two looked every bit the royal couple, moving together in sync through a day packed with music, dancing, and heartfelt moments.
At one point during the celebration, Davido took the microphone and called Chioma “my peace, my home”—a simple phrase that spoke volumes. It was a reminder that beyond the cameras, beyond the grandeur, this was about two people who had weathered storms together and emerged stronger.
It wouldn’t be a Davido event without music at its core. Live performances, a mix of Afrobeats and soulful ballads, kept the atmosphere electric. The menu reflected both their Nigerian roots and their international tastes—think gourmet fusions of jollof rice and seafood platters, champagne toasts, and decadent desserts that looked almost too pretty to eat.
The dance floor was a highlight, with friends and family letting loose in a blend of Nigerian and American party styles. Videos and photos from the night flooded social media almost instantly, offering fans a peek into the intimate yet spectacular celebration.
Davido and Chioma’s Miami wedding was more than a glamorous event. For fans, it was a symbol of enduring love in an industry where relationships often crumble under public pressure. For Nigerians around the world, it was a proud showcase of how our traditions can merge beautifully with global luxury. And for Davido and Chioma, it was the final chapter in a wedding journey that had spanned continents, cultures, and countless headlines.
Massive congratulations to the celebrity couple.
