Davido's Special Birthday Celebrations
The sagging pants incident was just one memorable moment from Davido's elaborate 33rd birthday festivities. The celebration brought together family and friends in Atlanta to honor the music superstar, who has become one of Nigeria's most prominent cultural exports.
Davido received an extravagant birthday gift from his wife, Chioma Adeleke, who presented him with a luxurious Hermès HAC Haut à Courroies bag. The singer expressed his gratitude on Instagram, captioning his post "Iyawo mi" (my wife in Yoruba) and tagging his spouse.
Chioma had earlier shared an emotional birthday message for her husband, praying that God would bring "permanent confusion and disorder to any gathering of evil against them." She also expressed how Davido still gives her butterflies and acknowledged her pride in his achievements.
The couple's mutual generosity was evident, as Davido had previously gifted Chioma a brand-new 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 EQ SUV in September. During their wedding ceremony, the singer had presented his wife with a stunning 10-carat GIA-certified oval diamond ring valued at approximately $950,000.
The birthday celebration showcased the perfect blend of modern celebrity lifestyle and traditional Nigerian family values, reminding fans that even global superstars aren't immune to the corrective wisdom of their elders.
