Nigerian music icon Davido has shared his thoughts on his marriage to long-time partner Chioma Rowland, highlighting that she is the only woman he ever imagined as his wife.
In an interview with The Morning Hustle podcast, the Afrobeats artist said that his wedding day was the happiest day of his life.”My wedding would never have been attended by anyone from my wrong side. “I would have probably seen my enemy and hugged them on our wedding day, which was the happiest day of my life,” he remarked.
When Davido was asked why he chose Chioma as his wife, he stressed that it couldn’t have been anyone else right from the start.
He said, “She’s had been my girlfriend for 12-13 years, she’s the only one it could have been. Now I could make five to six hundred thousand dollars a show and on a good day, I’d make a million, she was with me when I was making like 2000 dollars and I had a Honda and an Audi.”
He continued, “She’s my friend, my dawg and if it wasn’t her I wouldn’t have gotten married, there’s no point. If you don’t love me for me it’s impossible. Like right now? How? Id have just had kids and chilled.”
The musician admitted that being in the spotlight makes private issues more difficult, particularly when they are made public. He went on to say, “She’s a good woman, when you have a good woman like that, you don’t want to fuck it up,” emphasising Chioma’s composed and grounded demeanour.
