Popular Afrobeat star, Davido, has revealed that his longtime personal assistant, Lati, who serves as his best man at his wedding introduced him to Chioma, his wife.

Davido and his longtime partner, Chioma Rowland also known as Chefchi, tied the knot in a star-studded wedding ceremony in Lagos today.

The ceremony witnessed the attendance of notable figures in the country ranging from business to politics and entertainment spaces.

At the wedding, Davido announced that his best man was the one who introduced him to his wife.

Reacting to the news, Afrobeats singer Dammy Krane also confirmed the story.

“HER FRIEND CAME TO SEE LATI FROM BABCOCK & SHE BROUGHT CHI; THEN LATI INTRODUCED CHIOMA TO
OWE B OWE YOU WELCOME — INDUSTRY LANDLORD,” he tweeted.

Coincidentally, today is Lati’s birthday.

Last year, Davido in a very touching message on his page described Lati as his right-hand man and best friend.

“Happy Bday my Right hand man!! Best friend ! Big brother!! Confidant!!! And best believe if u try me!! 400 go enter ur soul!!!! Today lion must enter blood love u my ARUBA !!!! ❤️❤️❤️ @lt_ddon,” he wrote.

In a recent interview, the singer opened up about his relationship with Chioma, revealing that he had known her before his rise to fame and fortune.

Reflecting on this, Davido expressed gratitude for meeting her during that period, emphasizing that it would have been challenging for him to enter relationships now as he would feel every woman wants him for his money or status.

Davido revealed the significance of authenticity in his circle, noting that success for him lies not just in personal achievements but in the continued presence of those who stood by him during his humble beginnings.

The couple, who lost their son Ifeanyi in a tragic accident in 2022, welcomed their twins in the United States in October, 2023.

Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has shared that she is watching singer Davido and Chioma’s wedding online despite being invited.

She explained that heavy traffic prevented her from reaching the venue.

During an Instagram Live session with fans, Ojo stated,

“Whether you received an invite or not, we’re all the same, watching Davido’s wedding on our phones.

Those of us with invites are still stuck in traffic and can’t make it to the wedding.”

Davido’s wedding, held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, was graced by dignitaries from various sectors, including his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, and the governors of Lagos and Abia States, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Alex Otti.

Other notable attendees were former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel, and the Ooni of Ife, HRH Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi.

Celebrities such as Ini Edo, Patoranking, Obi Cubana, Seyi Tinubu, B-Red, Victor Osimhen, Craze Clown, Paul Okoye, and the host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, were also present.

Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has revealed that he was invited to his colleague Davido’s wedding.

Portable stated that he would have been one of the groomsmen if rapper Zlatan Ibile hadn’t damaged his relationship with Davido.

During an Instagram live session with fans, Portable said, “I was invited to Davido’s wedding. If Zlatan Ibile hadn’t ruined my friendship with Davido, I’d have been among the groomsmen.”

Davido and Chioma’s wedding drew notable dignitaries such as Governors Ademola Adeleke (Osun), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Alex Otti (Abia), Godwin Obaseki (Edo), former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and the Ooni of Ife, HRH Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi. Celebrities in attendance included Zlatan Ibile, Ini Edo, Paul Okoye, Patoranking, Cubana Chief Priest, B-Red, and many others.

The fallout between Davido and Portable occurred after Portable accused Davido of giving him “bad advice” during a recent dinner in the United States.

This led to Davido unfollowing Portable on Instagram. Portable later claimed that Davido abandoned him after using him to gain attention.
