Nigerian music icon Davido, born David Adeleke, marked a heartwarming milestone on Tuesday, April 30, 2025, as he celebrated the 30th birthday of his wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke, in an intimate gathering attended by close friends and family.
The private event, personally organised by the Afrobeat superstar, took place in an exclusive setting and was filled with tender moments and genuine affection. Short video clips from the celebration, which have since surfaced online, gave fans a rare peek into the closely-knit celebration that highlighted the couple’s deep connection.
Davido’s longtime associate and hype man, Special Spesh, noted the uniqueness of the evening, revealing that it was the first time Davido had personally planned such a celebration for anyone. He emphasised that the gesture reflected how special the occasion was to the singer.
In a touching tribute during the event, Davido poured heartfelt praise on Chioma, describing her as a woman of exceptional strength and kindness, reminiscent of his late mother, Veronica Adeleke.
He said, “She’s the first woman in my life that has fully accepted and adored all my children as her own.”
The singer went further to commend Chioma’s humility and nurturing spirit, recounting how she always ensures everyone in their home is well-fed, regardless of their social status.
“She doesn’t mind going into the kitchen herself to serve food — even the domestic staff. That’s just the kind of woman she is,” he added.
One of the most tender moments of the night captured Davido gently lighting candles on a modest birthday cake while inviting Chioma to make a wish. Chioma, known for her reserved nature, quietly whispered her wish before blowing out the candles amid cheers and applause from the small circle of guests.
