Nigerian music superstar Davido has sparked a major conversation online after issuing a fiery response to an Instagram user who made disparaging comments about his wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, saw the 'Unavailable' singer fiercely defend his spouse, leading to mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
A Fiery Clapback on Instagram
The online confrontation began when an unidentified social media user left a negative remark targeting Chioma. Upon seeing the comment, Davido did not hesitate to intervene. In a now-viral screenshot, the award-winning artist directly replied to the critic with a strongly-worded message.
Davido wrote: "Cho Cho Cho Cho Cho Cho... Do you even know what my wife is coming back from? Y’all just talk rubbish... you’re not and can never be as strong as her! Mind your business!"
His swift and passionate defence of Chioma quickly captured the attention of netizens, turning the exchange into a trending topic across various social media platforms.
Mixed Reactions from Netizens
While many fans applauded Davido for standing up for his wife, a significant portion of the online community used the moment to highlight another recurring issue. Several commenters pointedly asked why the singer does not offer the same vigorous public defence for his first daughter, Imade Adeleke, who often faces trolling from online users.
Reactions compiled from social media platforms revealed a clear divide in public opinion:
- @pellannaji questioned: "Why not defend his first daughter imade."
- @anajajuwairiyah echoed: "Wish u can defend ur first child Imade like this David ??."
- @happy.murungi.256 asked: "But he can’t tell his fans to stop trolling Imade???"
Conversely, other users praised the singer's actions:
- @miriamesther49 stated: "Thank you David for protecting your precious queen."
- @sheunphunmy3 commented: "I love way Davido Value and protect his woman peace ?."
- @kumusha1953 offered a lengthy defence, writing in part: "Haters being paid to say hurtful words to this beautiful girl... Kudos David. Chioma’s safety & security is key."
Context: A Recent Family Celebration
This incident follows closely after Davido shared heartwarming photos from his elder brother's wedding ceremony, where he posed with his wife Chioma and their daughter Hailey. The pictures, which also featured his billionaire father Adedeji Adeleke with his grandchildren, were largely celebrated. However, some observers were quick to note the absence of his first daughter, Imade, from the family portraits, reigniting discussions about their relationship.
The love story between Davido and Chioma is well-documented, beginning during their time at Babcock University. Their relationship went public in 2018, and Davido famously dedicated the song 'Assurance' to her. The couple had their traditional marriage introduction in September 2019 and are now parents to twins.
This event underscores the intense scrutiny faced by celebrity families on social media and the complex expectations the public places on stars regarding their personal and familial loyalties.
