Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, pulled out all the stops to celebrate the 30th birthday of his beloved wife, Chioma Avril Rowland, in a grand and unforgettable fashion. The event, which took place on April 30, 2025, was a spectacle of love, luxury, and heartfelt emotions, as the award-winning artist showcased his unwavering affection and appreciation for the woman he affectionately calls “the love of my life.”
Davido, known for his larger-than-life lifestyle and expressive nature, spared no expense in making sure Chioma’s milestone birthday was as special as she is to him. The lavish celebration, held at an exclusive venue in Lagos, drew the attention of fans, celebrities, and media outlets, as photos and videos of the event began flooding social media shortly after the festivities commenced.
In a series of posts shared across his social media platforms, Davido poured out his heart, calling Chioma his “rock,” “queen,” and “the one who gave me life.” The couple, who tragically lost their son Ifeanyi in 2022, have since kept much of their private life away from the public eye, making this extravagant celebration a rare and deeply touching public display of their bond.
An Event Fit for Royalty
Chioma’s 30th birthday party was nothing short of regal. Guests arrived at a tastefully decorated venue adorned with elegant floral arrangements, soft candlelight, and custom decor that featured the celebrant’s name and age. The color scheme—champagne gold and ivory—reflected sophistication and opulence, a clear nod to Chioma’s refined personality.
Davido reportedly flew in some of the best event planners and stylists from around the world to ensure every detail was executed to perfection. From gourmet cuisine to live music performances, the night was filled with entertainment, laughter, and heartfelt toasts.
Guests were treated to performances by some of Nigeria’s top artists and DJs, including Tiwa Savage, Mayorkun, and Fireboy DML, who all took turns serenading the birthday girl and paying tribute to the couple’s enduring love story. A special highlight of the night came when Davido himself took the stage to perform a medley of his hit songs, including “Assurance,” which he originally wrote for Chioma, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
A Love Story Reaffirmed
Beyond the glitz and glamour, the celebration was a reaffirmation of Davido and Chioma’s love, which has weathered both public scrutiny and personal tragedy. In a touching moment captured on video, Davido held Chioma close as he gave a heartfelt speech about their journey together.
“Chioma, you gave me life when I had nothing else to live for,” he said. “You stood by me through it all. This night is for you. Happy birthday, my wife, my best friend, my everything.”
The couple, who got married in a private ceremony in 2023, have remained fiercely protective of their relationship, especially in the wake of the devastating loss of their son. Yet, this birthday celebration was a reminder to fans and observers that their love remains resilient, unshaken, and deeply rooted in mutual respect and shared history.
Fans and Celebrities React
Social media platforms were abuzz as clips and images from the celebration made the rounds online. Fans praised Davido for his public adoration of Chioma and his commitment to honoring her in such a grand way. Hashtags like #ChiomaAt30 and #DavidoAndChioma trended throughout the night, with fans calling the event a “masterclass in love” and “the ultimate birthday celebration.”
Fellow celebrities also took to their Instagram and Twitter pages to share their admiration. Actress Ini Edo wrote, “Chioma deserves all the love in the world. What a beautiful night.” Music producer Don Jazzy commented, “OBO don spoil Chioma finish. Love to see it!”
Gifts Fit for a Queen
As expected, Davido didn’t hold back when it came to showering his wife with luxurious gifts. Sources close to the family revealed that Chioma received a custom diamond necklace, a brand-new Range Rover, and a romantic getaway trip to the Maldives. These were in addition to several high-end designer items and a custom portrait painted by a renowned Nigerian artist, which was unveiled during the event.
The couple was also seen sharing quiet, intimate moments throughout the night, further endearing them to their loyal fan base.
Looking Ahead
With Davido set to begin his world tour in June, the celebration also served as a brief respite for the artist before his busy summer schedule. However, the grandeur of the evening and the emotional tone of his messages made it clear that no matter how busy his calendar may be, Chioma remains the center of his world.
As the night drew to a close, fireworks lit up the Lagos sky, and guests cheered as Davido kissed his wife amid the cheers and music. It was a moment of triumph, not just for a birthday well-celebrated, but for a love story that continues to inspire millions.
In a world often dominated by fleeting romances and celebrity drama, Davido and Chioma’s love remains a shining example of enduring partnership, mutual support, and unconditional affection.
