Global Afrobeats icon David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, turned his lavish white wedding in Miami into both a celebration of love and a heartfelt moment of remembrance.
The music superstar honored his late son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, by wearing custom cufflinks engraved with the boy’s photo, an emotional tribute that touched millions of fans across social media. Davido shared the special detail on his Instagram story on Sunday, as he tied the knot with his long-time partner, Chioma Rowland, in a glamorous ceremony attended by celebrities, dignitaries, and close friends.
The Miami white wedding followed their high-profile traditional ceremony earlier in 2024, which was graced by some of Nigeria’s most influential figures in business, politics, and entertainment. The couple’s pre-wedding dinner had already made waves, with appearances from top Nigerian music stars like Adekunle Gold, Teni, and Zlatan Ibile.

Davido, known for his chart-topping hits and extravagant lifestyle, revealed that the Miami celebration cost a jaw-dropping $3.7 million. “We spent $3.7 million in cash. You should know what we are doing, it’s crazy,” he said with pride, emphasizing the grandeur of the occasion.
In true Davido fashion, the night’s luxury didn’t end with the ceremony. The singer surprised his bride with an iced-out Richard Mille wristwatch worth a staggering $300,000. The exclusive timepiece, dripping in diamonds, marks Chioma’s second Richard Mille from Davido. In 2023, he had gifted her one alongside a collection of luxury Birkin bags for her birthday, cementing his reputation for over-the-top romantic gestures.
The Miami wedding is the couple’s third major celebration, following their traditional wedding in Lagos in June 2024 and their court marriage in March 2023. Beyond the luxury and spectacle, Davido’s custom cufflinks stood out as a deeply personal reminder that even in life’s grandest moments, love and loss are forever intertwined.
