Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, aka Davido, is holding his white wedding with his wife, Chioma, in Miami, United States of America, on Sunday, August 10, 2025, at The Havana in Miami.
Before the main ceremony, a pre-wedding dinner was hosted in honour of the couple, with close family members and friends in attendance. The event had the couple all lovey-dovey over each other, and a video online showed their enthusiasm for one another.
In a video of the party on Friday night, Davido was dressed in a multicoloured outfit, while Chioma appeared in a white gown. Some highlights at the event included familiar faces such as his colleagues — Adekunle Gold, Teni; and popular blogger, Tunde Ednut.
However, although Davido seemed surrounded by family and friends, some notable faces people would have expected to see at the party were nowhere to be found. One of them was Davido’s close friend and associate, Cubana Chief Priest.
Cubana Chief Priest took to his Instagram to explain the reason he would not be attending his friend’s wedding.
According to his post, although he was not physically present, his wife was there to share in the blissful union and represent him.
He wrote, “Woke up this morning with mixed feelings. I’m happy and I’m still sad at the same time. Sometimes God has a way of making you understand that you are powerless, regardless of all you may think you have. I appreciate the bashing because that has given me multiple reasons and proof to apply again @usinnigeria.
“Do it for me this time. You can clearly see how disappointed and hurt the world is to see me absent at my best friend’s wedding. You need to give me access to get my fat ass into America. Well, delay is never denial; CP is still hopeful. I’m wishing my best friend @davido and his beautiful wife @thechefchi an amazing wedlock. The largest part of me, which is my family—my beautiful, elegant, expensive, eloquent, and sophisticated wife @_deangels—is there to share in this luxurious, blissful experience, so I’m there in body and spirit. @usinnigeria I’m in again next week, please give me access to the greatest country in the world. This pain is really paining.”
It was also alleged that Chioma’s parents would not be present to witness their daughter’s wedding because of a similar situation of visa denial and a ban placed on them.
In a post by popular journalist and blogger, Stella Dimokokorkus, she claimed that Chioma’s parents’ visas were revoked and temporarily banned for overstaying during their last visit to the US.
Her post read in part, “Insiders revealed that the real reason their five-year visas were revoked was because when Chioma’s parents were asked at the point of entry into the US how long they would stay, they said one month. But when they got in, the reality on ground was different, as Chioma had a postpartum condition and also became anemic, and the mum had no choice but to extend her stay and nurse her daughter back to good health, while the dad returned after the time they indicated they would stay…”
Meanwhile, at the pre-wedding party, Davido revealed that the wedding cost a total of $3.7m. He said, “We spent $3.7m in cash. You should know what we are doing. It’s crazy.”
As the much-anticipated wedding unfolds today, fans are eagerly watching one of the biggest celebrations in the music industry this year. Davido also revealed a new tattoo that read “Chioma” on the left side of his lower abdomen during a pre-wedding photoshoot.
