Lati, Davido and Chioma

Popular Afrobeat star, Davido, has revealed that his longtime personal assistant, Lati, who serves as his best man at his wedding introduced him to Chioma, his wife.

Davido and his longtime partner, Chioma Rowland also known as Chefchi, tied the knot in a star-studded wedding ceremony in Lagos today.

The ceremony witnessed the attendance of notable figures in the country ranging from business to politics and entertainment spaces.

At the wedding, Davido announced that his best man was the one who introduced him to his wife.

Reacting to the news, Afrobeats singer Dammy Krane also confirmed the story.

“HER FRIEND CAME TO SEE LATI FROM BABCOCK & SHE BROUGHT CHI; THEN LATI INTRODUCED CHIOMA TO OWE B OWE YOU WELCOME — INDUSTRY LANDLORD,” he tweeted.

Coincidentally, today is Lati’s birthday.

Last year, Davido in a very touching message on his page described Lati as his right-hand man and best friend.

“Happy Bday my Right hand man!! Best friend ! Big brother!! Confidant!!! And best believe if u try me!! 400 go enter ur soul!!!! Today lion must enter blood love u my ARUBA !!!! ❤️❤️❤️ @lt_ddon,” he wrote.

In a recent interview, the singer opened up about his relationship with Chioma, revealing that he had known her before his rise to fame and fortune.

Reflecting on this, Davido expressed gratitude for meeting her during that period, emphasizing that it would have been challenging for him to enter relationships now as he would feel every woman wants him for his money or status.

Davido revealed the significance of authenticity in his circle, noting that success for him lies not just in personal achievements but in the continued presence of those who stood by him during his humble beginnings.

The couple, who lost their son Ifeanyi in a tragic accident in 2022, welcomed their twins in the United States in October, 2023.
