Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is set to marry his long-time partner Chioma Rowland in an opulent white wedding in Miami, USA, today. The ceremony, which has been branded Chivido 2025, comes with a jaw-dropping price tag of $3.7 million (over KSh 480 million), making it one of the most extravagant celebrity weddings in recent history.
Davido disclosed the staggering cost during a casual chat with friends ahead of the big day, noting that the massive budget was intentional. “We’ve spent $3.7 million in cash. We know exactly what we’re doing, we’re going all out,” the Assurance hitmaker said, signaling a lavish experience for their invited guests.
The festivities kicked off with a glamorous Havana Night-themed pre-wedding party, which drew a star-studded crowd. Among the high-profile attendees were Zlatan, Adekunle Gold, B-Red, Davido’s sister Sharon, and his brother Adewale Adeleke. Videos circulating on social media showed Chioma looking radiant in a chic white cut-out mini dress, while Davido opted for a laid-back look topped with a cowboy hat, setting a relaxed yet stylish tone for the celebrations.
The couple, accompanied by family, close friends, and their team, arrived in Miami on Wednesday, August 6, to finalize preparations for the grand event. Their choice of Miami reflects the couple’s desire for an exclusive, destination-style celebration that merges luxury with a vibrant atmosphere.
This Miami affair follows their traditional wedding held in Lagos in June 2024, which was widely regarded as the “Wedding of the Year.” That ceremony attracted political heavyweights such as the Governors of Lagos and Osun, the Ooni of Ife, prominent business leaders, and numerous celebrities. During the traditional rites, Davido made heartfelt vows to Chioma’s parents, promising to protect, honor, and cherish their daughter — promises he now appears ready to seal with this spectacular white wedding.
With anticipation running high, fans and well-wishers across the globe are eagerly following every moment of the Chivido 2025 celebrations. If the pre-wedding festivities are anything to go by, today’s ceremony is set to be nothing short of unforgettable.
