Photos: Davido blows $3.7m on lavish Miami white wedding for Chioma

Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed that preparations for his white wedding to wife Chioma Adeleke have gulped an estimated $3.7 million in cash.

“We’ve spent $3.7 million in cash. So, you should know what we are doing. It’s going to be crazy,” the 32-year-old singer said in a video shared on Instagram by fellow artiste, Teni.

The couple arrived in Miami earlier this week aboard a private jet decorated with floral arrangements and a seat tagged “MRS”, underscoring the romantic atmosphere surrounding the celebrations.

At their pre-wedding party, Davido sported a white hat, blue suit jacket, white trousers and an Ankara fabric draped over his shoulders, while Chioma dazzled in a short white gown. Guests were welcomed with a bold backdrop inscribed “Chivido. Miami. 2025” in white and gold — reminiscent of luxury bar signage.

Notable entertainers spotted at the event include Zlatan Ibile, Teniola Apata, Adekunle Gold, Tunde Ednut, and Poco Lee. Family members such as B-Red were also in attendance.

Tunde Ednut confirmed the Miami wedding, initially slated for August, will now take place this weekend.

It will be the couple’s third wedding ceremony, following their court wedding in March 2023 and their traditional wedding in Lagos in June 2024, which drew top politicians, personalities and celebrities. Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle, is expected at the Miami event.

Davido and Chioma met over a decade ago while she was studying at Babcock University. Their relationship became public in 2018 when he released his hit single Assurance in her honour, followed by 1 Milli, in which he vowed to pay any price to marry her.

The couple weathered a public breakup in 2021 and the tragic loss of their first son, Ifeanyi, in October 2022. They welcomed twins in the United States in October 2023.

In a 2024 interview, Davido credited meeting Chioma before fame as a key reason for their lasting bond, saying if they had met later, he “might never have married.”

The Miami wedding is expected to be a lavish affair, adding another chapter to one of Nigeria’s most celebrated celebrity love stories.
