Nigerian artist David Adeleke, known professionally as Davido, recently shared insights into his personal life, particularly about his relationship with his spouse, Chioma Rowland. He revealed that their connection predates his celebrity and wealth, highlighting the significance of their early bond.
Davido reflected on the challenges of forming genuine relationships in the limelight, acknowledging the potential for misconceptions about intentions due to his wealth and fame. He expressed his appreciation for having met Chioma during a simpler time in his life, which he believes has grounded their relationship.
“I have a friend, anytime I am on the phone with my wife, he would say he has everything in the world, but a wife is what he is missing.
“I met my wife before I had money, but I was telling myself if I didn’t meet her before then and now I am single, and I meet a girl, it wouldn’t be the same. I would feel the lady is talking to me because I am Davido and I have money.”
The artist also discussed his perspective on success, which he measures by the loyalty and support of those who have been with him from the start. For Davido, true accomplishment is not solely about personal milestones but also about cherishing the journey with those who have remained steadfast throughout his career.
“My own success is when I see people around who were there when I had nothing and they see me now, that’s the feeling, not like when you blow up and start hanging out with a new set of people. You need to keep the people that were there with you since grinding”.
