Why I Wouldn’t Have Married Anyone Except Chioma — Davido

Nigerian music sensation David Adeleke, aka Davido, has shared why he chose to tie the knot with Chioma, his long-time girlfriend.

In an appearance on The Morning Hustle podcast on Tuesday, Davido provided a glimpse into his personal life and relationship with Chioma.

When asked about his decision to marry Chioma, the singer explained their deep connection, stating that they had been together for over a decade.

“She’s been my girlfriend for like 12 to 13 years. She was the only one I could have chosen,” he said.

He went on to emphasise that if it weren’t for Chioma, he wouldn’t have married anyone else.

“She’s my friend. If it’s not her, I’m not getting married,” he affirmed.

“If you don’t want me for me, it’s impossible. Like right now? How? I’d have just had kids and chilled.”

The singer highlighted how Chioma stood by him when he was just starting to gain success, even when his income was modest.

He said, “I was famous. I wasn’t big, but I was kind of okay. Let me explain, now I’m making like $600,000 per show, on a good day I make a million. So, she was with me when I was making about $2,000.”

The musician also opened up about how being a celebrity affects his personal relationships.

He noted that despite the challenges that come with being in the limelight, Chioma is calm.
