Davido and Chioma’s long-anticipated Chivido 2025 celebration in Miami was an opulent, social-media-driven affair. The couple held a lavish white wedding on August 10, 2025, inviting guests to a beachfront Miami venue under a strict black-tie dress code (even barring all attendees from wearing white or cream, to reserve those hues for the newlyweds). From the moment of arrival, every detail screamed luxury: according to reports the event cost about $3.7 million.

Among the highlights was an astonishing gift exchange – mid-reception Davido surprised Chioma with a custom $300K+ Richard Mille watch, on top of the 10-carat, F‑color diamond ring (worth roughly $950K) he’d had made for her. Guests at the multi-day festivities included Nigeria’s richest man Aliko Dangote and an A-list crowd of musicians and influencers. For example, sources noted attendees like music stars Adekunle Gold, D’banj, Cobhams Asuquo and socialite Obi Cubana (with wife Lush Eby) all arrived in style. The decor was kept elegantly monochrome to match the “white wedding” theme (some outlets reported it was “nothing short of royal” in grandeur).

Glamorous Highlights

The spectacle of the day was punctuated by unforgettable fashion and performances. Chioma stunned in multiple couture gowns – notably during Ghanaian star Stonebwoy’s set she wore a sparkling blue corseted dress, dancing energetically with him as guests sang along. (Davido even joined in singing on stage with Stonebwoy, underscoring the close friendship between the artists.) Davido himself cut a dapper figure, and earlier at their Havana-themed pre-wedding party he serenaded Chioma with the hit “Aye” alongside colleague Omah Lay.

Every moment was amplified by social media: one blogger enthused that the wedding was “a perfect mix of glam, love, and a guest list… like a constellation of stars”. Indeed, as one report summarized: “the celebration had it all – the glamour, the love, the grandeur, and… a guest list filled with stars who arrived in style.”

Viral Moments and Social Buzz

Almost as soon as Chivido2025 got underway, clips and photos flooded social media. Fans clipped together viral highlights – from Chioma’s graceful walk down the aisle to tender kisses exchanged as husband and wife. An especially moving moment came when Chioma was caught tearing up before the ceremony; a video of her wiping away tears and being comforted by Davido’s sister Sharon “trended online,” with many viewers calling it “such a beautiful sight”.

Chioma’s wedding vows also became shareable content – in one clip she called Davido “my calm in my storm”, a phrase that quickly became a favorite caption on fan posts. Another heartwarming photo that went viral showed Chioma cradling one of their twin baby girls while gently hiding the child’s face – commenters praised her “elegance and poise” and lauded her as “the best mom in the world” for the caring gesture. Throughout the weekend, hashtags like #ChiomChiom and #Chivido2025 lit up timelines as well-wishers and media outlets alike reposted scenes of the Miami festivities.

Controversies and Unexpected Events

The celebration was not without its online drama. A widely-circulated Instagram clip showed Davido and Chioma posing for photos in Miami, and some viewers gasped when Davido’s hand appeared to linger on Chioma’s hip/thigh – “fans quickly noticed how his hands played around her private area,” the report noted. The gesture sparked criticism from a few followers who felt it was “disrespectful” and better kept private. In a lighter viral incident, a video of Davido’s reaction to a staffer trying to wipe sweat off his dyed hair went viral for comedic effect: he abruptly blocked the waiter and yelled “Be careful!” when the cloth almost removed his hair dye, drawing both laughs and admiration for his assertiveness.

Off-stage issues also made headlines. Nigerian club-owner and big Davido supporter Obi Cubana was forced to miss the Miami wedding due to a U.S. visa denial; he later shared bittersweet messages online about being unable to join the celebration. Back home, critics chimed in too: one senior media aide publicly slammed the extravagance on Twitter/X, calling the Miami “white wedding” “a waste of money” and scolding the couple that even figures like “Dangote, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg won’t waste money like this”. These dissenting voices stood in contrast to the festive spirit, but they echoed a broader discussion about celebrity spending versus national hardship.
