Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has claimed that singer Davido solely funded his wedding to Chioma, popularly tagged “Chivido 2025,” without financial contributions from his in-laws.
Maduagwu made the remarks while drawing a comparison between Davido’s wedding and that of singer Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola. He alleged that while Temi’s family bore the financial weight of her high-profile wedding, Davido turned down financial offers, including from his billionaire father, and insisted on paying the bills himself.
According to him, Mr Eazi and Temi’s elaborate three-part wedding reportedly cost between $14 million and $15 million, with much of the expense covered by the Otedola family. He contrasted this with Davido’s wedding, which he described as a personal financial commitment undertaken without assistance from Chioma’s family.
The actor’s claims generated debate across social media platforms. Some commentators praised Davido for self-funding his marriage ceremony, describing it as a mark of independence and responsibility, while others dismissed the comparison as unnecessary.
The weddings of both celebrity couples attracted global attention, with Mr Eazi and Temi’s union celebrated in Europe and Nigeria, while Davido and Chioma’s “Chivido 2025” was staged as one of the most talked-about events in Lagos
