I promise her a lifetime assurance.
Davido and Chioma’s wedding took three ceremonies and seven years to complete. It began with a ring in 2019 and ended in August 2025 at Mana Wynwood in Miami, a party Davido said cost more than $3.7 million and summed up in one line: “We brought Lagos to Miami.”
From “Assurance” to the ring
David Adeleke, the Afrobeats star known as Davido, made his relationship with Chioma Rowland public in 2018. That April he released “Assurance” for her birthday, and the song became one of the biggest of his career. Its hook, a promise of a lifetime of assurance, is still the line fans quote back at them.
In September 2019 he proposed and posted the ring with the caption “SHE SAID YES!!!! BIG ROCK”. Their son, Ifeanyi, was born that October. The couple lost him in a drowning accident at their Lagos home in October 2022, a tragedy that drew messages of support from across Africa and kept them out of public view for months.
Court, Lagos and Miami
Reports say the couple married at a court in March 2023, when Davido told fans simply, “I’m married.” In October 2023 they welcomed twins. Their traditional wedding followed in Lagos on 25 June 2024 under the hashtag #CHIVIDO2024, with Davido’s uncle, Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke, among the guests. The day trended across Nigeria for hours, and the guest list read like a roll call of Afrobeats.
The white wedding took place in Miami on 10 August 2025, with around 1,500 guests reported and creative direction from Davido’s sister, Sharon Ademefun. Vogue featured the day, and Stonebwoy, who attended with his wife Dr Louisa, was among the performers.
Why #Chivido still matters
Few African celebrity weddings have been followed as closely. The couple turned each stage into an event with its own hashtag, from #CHIVIDO2024 to #Chivido2025, and fans tracked every outfit change. The story also carried real weight: a public romance, a private loss and a marriage that held through it, played out in front of tens of millions of followers.
