Singer finalises white wedding plans with Chioma

Afrobeats megastar Davido is riding high on a wave of sold-out shows and personal milestones, as his ongoing US tour continues to pull massive crowds—even while he quietly puts final touches to his much-anticipated white wedding ceremony with Chioma Rowland.

Videos from the night show ecstatic crowds chanting his name, waving flags, and cheering him on as he delivered hit after hit with unrelenting stamina.

Sources close to the DMW boss say the ceremony will be held later this year, with only selected friends and family on the guest list.

Davido and Chioma had their traditional wedding in Lagos in 2023, following a difficult period that tested their bond. Their upcoming white wedding is seen not only as a celebration of enduring love but also a moment of quiet victory for a couple that has weathered intense public scrutiny and personal tragedy.

Amidst the tour and wedding preparations, Davido recently surprised his longtime aide Israel DMW with a luxury Rolex wristwatch during his US stopover. The gesture, which fans quickly picked up on, came as a signal of forgiveness and restored friendship after a highly publicized falling-out between the two.

Israel, clearly moved by the gift, took to social media to show off the designer timepiece, calling Davido a “king with a good heart.” It was a moment that resonated with fans who have long admired the singer’s deep sense of loyalty to his inner circle, even after conflicts arise.

My family has money that I haven’t even started touching yet.” The remark, made during a relaxed hangout with friends, sparked intense discussion online, with some applauding his confidence and others debating the tone.
