Chioma Adeleke, wife of Afrobeats superstar Davido, has set the record straight on how her love story with the singer began, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into their early relationship. In a video that has gone viral, Chioma revealed that she first crossed paths with Davido during their university days, thanks to a mutual friend.
According to Chioma, the introduction was casual and unassuming, with no expectation that it would later blossom into one of Nigeria's most talked-about celebrity romances. 'I met Davido when I was in school through my friend. My friend used to date his friend back then, but life happened,' she said.
Chioma's disclosure comes amid renewed scrutiny from Davido's UK-based baby mama, Larissa London, who recently addressed swirling reports about her son with the singer. During a question-and-answer session on Snapchat on April 26, Larissa firmly denied having a child with Davido while he was married. She clarified that their son, Dawson, was born in 2020, a time when she asserted the singer was single. Larissa also claimed that the public only learned of the child's paternity after Davido acknowledged the boy in interviews, adding that she was on vacation when the revelation gained widespread attention.
Larissa further alleged that she became a target of online harassment following the disclosure. She claimed that an unnamed individual operating fake social media accounts began attacking her and her child after she posted a video of herself dancing in a blue outfit. The makeup artist also alleged that traditional charms were referenced in the attacks, though she did not provide further details.
Chioma and Davido's relationship has evolved over the years, transitioning from a university romance to marriage in 2024. The couple currently shares two children. Chioma's heartfelt revelation has sparked reactions from netizens, with many commenting on the serendipity of their meeting.

Larissa London has also fired back at trolls, facing a series of personal questions and criticism during her Snapchat session. She invited fans to ask questions, but many used the opportunity to question her co-parenting with Davido and her relationship with other baby mamas. Larissa responded sharply to critics, dismissing some comments and pushing back against claims about her life.
This unfolding story continues to capture public attention, highlighting the complexities of celebrity relationships and the challenges of co-parenting in the spotlight.
