Davido's Playful Request to Wife Sparks Social Media Debate
Afrobeat superstar David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has ignited a lively social media conversation after making a humorous request to his wife, Chioma Rowland. The singer shared a video on his Instagram story showing American streamer IShowSpeed receiving massages from multiple women during his recent visit to Ghana, prompting Davido to playfully ask for similar treatment.
The Viral Video That Started It All
The controversy began when Davido reposted a clip from IShowSpeed's Ghanaian trip where the content creator appeared to thoroughly enjoy being pampered by several smiling women who massaged him while cameras rolled. In his Instagram story caption, Davido suggested that his wife should allow him to experience similar care and attention, specifically noting that the video was recorded in Ghana. This seemingly lighthearted remark quickly captured the attention of fans and critics alike, leading to widespread discussion across various social media platforms.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Followers
The response to Davido's post revealed a clear division among social media users. Many fans expressed strong disapproval, immediately referencing the singer's past controversies involving alleged paternity issues. Some commenters questioned whether Davido wanted to put his father through another difficult press conference situation, while others directly warned him to respect his marriage and avoid creating unnecessary drama.
However, a significant portion of observers interpreted the request as harmless marital teasing. These supporters argued that if Davido were genuinely serious about such an arrangement, he would not have shared it publicly on social media. Several fans also defended the singer by suggesting that after extensive touring across Africa, he deserved some relaxation and stress relief from his demanding schedule.
Social Media Commentary Highlights
The online discussion featured numerous colorful comments that reflected the polarized opinions:
- @udochukwu_h cautioned: "Davido please respect your wife, her body is enough for you, stop looking at another fantasy with happy ending."
- @iheanacho_peace16 questioned: "No be say una like the chioma leave my fav alone. Make Una no pour una frustration for him body."

- @sola_edison offered support: "He definitely needs the massage all that work and stress in touring Africa needs to be treated."
Broader Context and Background
This incident occurs against the backdrop of Davido's previous personal controversies that required public addressing by family members. The singer's father had previously held a press conference to address allegations surrounding Davido's personal life, making some fans particularly sensitive to anything that might trigger similar situations. Meanwhile, IShowSpeed's warm reception in Ghana contrasted with reports that Nigerian content creator Peller was unable to meet the American streamer during his visit to Nigeria.
The discussion also extended to observations about Davido's marriage dynamics, with some social media users analyzing the couple's public interactions. An American woman had previously commented on Davido's Valentine's Day treatment of Chioma, suggesting that while the singer genuinely loves his wife, Chioma's responses sometimes appear less than authentic in public settings.
This episode demonstrates how celebrity social media posts can quickly evolve into broader conversations about marriage, respect, and public perception in Nigeria's vibrant entertainment landscape.
