Davido, born David Adedeji Adeleke, says he is ready to turn a new leaf in his marriage. The singer made this known during his outing on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. Davido said he was tired of the trouble infidelity brought to him and wanted to live in freedom. The Unavailable singer also discussed his upcoming wedding to his longtime partner, Chioma “Chef Chi” Rowland.
Davido No Longer Wants To Cheat
Davido’s marriage may very well experience a fresh breath if the singer goes through with his promise. The singer made the declaration while with The Breakfast Club on Tuesday. He discussed the physical and emotional toll infidelity has had on him and announced he would no longer cheat. “I’m not cheating again. I don’t want wahala. I don’t want any wahala. I have five kids with four women,” Davido declared. The Assurance artist revealed that his marriage to Chioma Rowland shaped his convictions.
Already, since Davido’s traditional marriage in June 2024, news of cheating scandals has abated. The 32-year-old FEEL hitmaker revealed that he has “just been chilling at home since tying the knot.”
He told his hosts, “After sleeping for so long, my boys said, ‘Let’s go out,’ and I said, ‘Yeah, we’ll go out.’ But I ended up falling asleep again. The other day, I went out to perform at a carnival. When I came back, I heard my boys talking in the room. I asked what they were discussing, and they said, ‘Boss, we’re not having fun. You’ve changed. Where are the girls?’ And I was like, ‘Where are the girls? When I run into problems, all of you disappear and leave me to face it alone.’ I told them, ‘Women have dealt with me in my career.”
Davido Wants To Prioritize Peace
It appears peace is now a top priority in Davido’s marriage. The Afrobeats hitmaker said he has realized that having peace is more important than cavorting with different women. “I’ve been at the highest of highs, and I can tell you, the best time is when there are no problems at home,” Davido said of his marriage. I don’t care how much money someone has—I’ve made it all. But there’s nothing like sleeping and waking up without your heart racing to check your phone. That’s real peace.
Davido has been in the news just as much for infidelity as for his music. He came under increased scrutiny in June 2023 after news broke of his sexual escapades with two women. French beauty queen Ivanna Bay and US-based socialite and model Anita Brown claimed to be pregnant with his children. Brown also released private messages where Davido and his team pressured her to consider an abortion.
Davido Won’t Consider Polygamy
Meanwhile, one of The Breakfast Club hosts probed further about Davido’s marriage. They asked him if he would consider polygamy if the Nigerian law legitimized it, but Davido rejected the idea. He said his experiences with the concept already discouraged him from wanting it. The Afrobeats superstar said, “Sometimes experience is the best teacher.” He said wealth wouldn’t save anyone practicing polygamy. He also recounted tales of his uncles who kept polygamous families and the trouble it brought them.
“In the eastern part of Nigeria, like among the Igbo and in the Niger Delta, I’ve seen situations where people have multiple wives. My uncle, who’s a governor, has two wives. I have another uncle whose wives all live with him, and they even play together—and he’s a Christian. Still, he has problems despite all the money. I’m not cheating again. I’m not marrying another wife,” Davido said, adding that he was content with his marriage to Chioma Rowland.
Meanwhile, Davido’s marriage to Rowland has been confirmed to take place in Miami this August. The couple only had a traditional wedding last year and will have a white wedding to commemorate their love. They welcomed a set of twins in 2023.
Davido’s relationship and marriage to Chioma have always aroused interest because of his infidelity. Hopefully, the singer will keep his promise and avoid other women.
