Famous Nigerian Afrobeats singer David Adeleke, popularly addressed as Davido, has announced that preparations for his forthcoming white wedding to wife, Chioma Adeleke have gulped an estimated $3.7 million in cash, reports thegazellenews.com
“We’ve spent $3.7 million cash. So, you should know what we are doing. It’s going to be crazy,” the 32-year-old Osun State born singer said in a video making the rounds on social media.
The Miami event will be the third wedding ceremony for the couple following a court wedding in November 2022 and the traditional wedding in 2024.
It was gathered that the high-profile event is expected to feature luxury décor, premium entertainment, and exclusive hospitality for attendees.
Among notable attendees will be Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is Davido’s uncle. His spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, confirmed the governor’s trip after the state’s opposition party raised questions over his absence.
The Miami, Florida, event which the singer previously revealed has a total budget of about N4 billion is expected to be the couple’s most extravagant celebration yet. Davido has described it as “the greatest white wedding ever witnessed in the history of mankind,” with plans to fly in friends, family, and VIP guests from around the world.
The Ghost starts at about $357,750, meaning two would cost around $715,500. At the high end, the Phantom starts at $517,750, putting two at roughly $1,035,500. Other models, such as the Cullinan SUV, start at $392,000, making two worth about $784,000.
Davido and Chioma, formerly Chioma Rowland, first got engaged in 2019. Their relationship hit turbulence in 2021 following allegations of the singer’s involvement with another woman. In October 2022, the couple suffered a major personal tragedy when their first son, Ifeanyi, drowned in a Lagos residence.
By March 2023, Davido revealed that they had legally married. They later welcomed a set of twins in the United States in October 2023. Their traditional wedding took place in Lagos in June 2024.
In addition to the multi-million-dollar budget, Davido recently claimed that Chioma’s wedding ring is worth the equivalent of “two or three Rolls-Royce motor cars.” New Rolls-Royce prices vary significantly depending on model, trim, and customization.
