Nigerian musician Davido, born David Adeleke, opens up about his romance with Chioma Adeleke, his wife.
In a candid interview, Davido disclosed the remarkable fact that he encountered Chioma prior to his meteoric rise to stardom.
Reflecting on the significance of their early connection, Davido admitted that meeting Chioma during his pre-fame days was pivotal. He harbored concerns that potential partners might be drawn to him solely for his burgeoning wealth and celebrity status.
“It’s a blessing to have crossed paths with Chioma before the fame,” Davido remarked thoughtfully. “I worried that if I met her after attaining success, I might question whether her affection was genuine or motivated by my newfound status and riches.”
Davido expressed gratitude for maintaining a tight-knit circle of individuals who knew him intimately long before his ascent to musical superstardom.
He shared a poignant anecdote, saying, “I have a friend who often remarks, while I’m on the phone with my wife, that despite possessing everything, he longs for a life partner.”
The singer emphasized the importance of preserving relationships with those who stood by him during his humble beginnings, underscoring the value of loyalty and authenticity.
“My true measure of success is witnessing the continued presence of those who supported me when I had nothing,” Davido explained. “It’s not about surrounding yourself with newfound companions post-fame. It’s about cherishing the bonds forged during the journey of perseverance.”
Davido’s revelation offers a touching glimpse into the enduring power of love and companionship amidst the whirlwind of fame and fortune.
