The Nigerian entertainment world is still abuzz over #Chivido2025, the wedding of Davido and Chioma Rowland, now celebrated by fans and celebrities as one of the most extravagant African weddings ever.

While social media overflowed with glamorous updates from the event, singer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni or Teni Makanaki, has now shared a jaw-dropping detail. In a lighthearted interview, she revealed that Davido personally covered the cost of his guests’ accommodation at a luxury hotel.

According to the “Money” hitmaker, rooms went for an incredible $4,000 (about ₦6.1 million) per night. She added that Davido paid for three full nights for every invited guest. Teni joked:

“When it was time to extend my stay, I saw the rate and ran like Usain Bolt.”

The three-day celebration brought together high-profile figures from music, politics, and business, with guests flown in from around the world. Multiple luxury event planners were involved to create an opulent mix of cultural tradition and modern glamour, from gold-accented décor to gourmet multi-course meals.

Earlier, Afrobeats star David Adeleke, also known as Davido, revealed the astonishing cost of his wedding to Chioma. In a video captured during a lively bar gathering with friends, the singer laughed as he declared:

“We spent $3.7 million cash on the wedding, so you should know what we are doing.”

The statement drew loud cheers and laughter from those around him.

The CHIVIDO wedding festivities are being held in Miami, with the grand white wedding scheduled for Sunday.
