The Nigerian entertainment scene is still in full celebration mode as #Chivido2025 — the wedding of Davido and Chioma Rowland — continues to dominate headlines and social media trends. Fans and celebrities alike are calling it the most extravagant African wedding of all time, and honestly, the details prove them right.
While the internet has been flooded with stunning clips and glamorous photos from the lavish celebration, singer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni Makanaki, dropped a shocking revelation that has everyone talking. In a fun-filled interview, the “Money” crooner revealed that Davido went all out by personally covering the accommodation costs for his guests — and not just any accommodation, but luxury hotel suites costing a jaw-dropping $4,000 (about ₦6.1 million) per night. Even more impressive? He paid for three nights for every single invited guest!
Teni, in her usual playful tone, joked, “When it was time to extend my stay, I saw the rate and ran like Usain Bolt.”
From gold-accented décor to gourmet multi-course meals, the three-day wedding extravaganza brought together top names from music, politics, and business, with guests flying in from around the world. Multiple luxury event planners collaborated to create a perfect blend of Nigerian cultural tradition and modern glamour.
And if you think that’s all, Davido himself confirmed in a viral video that the wedding cost a staggering $3.7 million — all paid in cash! With loud cheers from friends, the Afrobeats superstar laughed and said, “You should know what we are doing.”
With the grand white wedding set in Miami, #CHIVIDO2025 is already cemented as a historic event in African pop culture.
