The internet is ablaze with controversy once again as Nigerian TV host, Radiogad, ignites a storm with his claim that Chioma Avril Rowland, wife of Afrobeats megastar Davido, used “charms” to win and keep the heart of the globally celebrated musician. The accusation, which initially sounds like something out of a Nollywood drama, was not about literal witchcraft—but something arguably more potent: humility, respect, and loyalty.
Radiogad’s comment surfaced shortly after Davido celebrated Chioma’s 30th birthday in Atlanta with an opulence befitting royalty. The highlight of the evening? A jaw-dropping gift of a brand new G-Wagon SUV, reportedly worth a staggering ₦450 million. Footage from the lavish party spread like wildfire across social media platforms, with fans swooning over the luxury, the love, and the fairytale aura surrounding the couple. But not everyone was swept away by the romance.
In a now-viral TikTok video, Radiogad offered his take on the intense bond between Davido and Chioma. “It’s heavy in my heart,” he began solemnly, before dropping the bombshell: “You charmed Davido. The charm Chioma used on Davido is called humility, respect, and loyalty.” The declaration was laced with sarcasm, but the implication was clear—Chioma’s qualities, rare and remarkable in a world of celebrity relationships, had cast an unbreakable spell on the hitmaker.
Unsurprisingly, the comment section exploded with mixed reactions. Some users applauded the tribute to Chioma’s character, while others criticized the notion that her marriage could be reduced to a mere “charm.” Imose Mercy was skeptical, stating, “Chioma is respecting Davido because of money, nothing else. Davido only married Chioma out of pity.” Her view was echoed by Obioma Oti, who dismissed Chioma’s marriage as luck, lamenting, “She is just lucky, other women did more than her but got heartbroken.”
But not all the voices were cynical. Bethel clapped back at the critics with a sharp dose of sarcasm: “If you know where Chioma went to charm Davido, why don’t you show your sisters or don’t they like good things?” Meanwhile, Felix Osondu took aim directly at Radiogad, suggesting that his comments were borne out of envy: “It is now obvious that you are in for business… Are you defeated already? Davido matter go kpai you.”
The buzz around this statement highlights a broader conversation in Nigerian pop culture, where love stories involving celebrities are often scrutinized under a magnifying glass. For many, Chioma and Davido’s love story is more than a typical celebrity romance—it’s a saga filled with ups and downs, public breakups and reconciliations, all culminating in what fans now see as a renewed and deeply affectionate union.
Davido and Chioma’s relationship has never been free from public interest. From the moment Davido serenaded her in “Assurance,” gifting her a Porsche in the music video, to the more turbulent moments involving infidelity rumors and family pressures, their journey has played out like a high-stakes soap opera for millions of fans. Still, the duo appears to have weathered every storm, emerging stronger and more united—something Radiogad’s comments unintentionally spotlighted.
What’s intriguing about Radiogad’s statement is that, despite his dramatic delivery, it has sparked a necessary dialogue. In a society where marriages, especially those involving the rich and famous, are often marred by scandal, Chioma’s perceived virtues have become the subject of analysis. Could humility, respect, and loyalty truly be the secrets to keeping love alive in the fast-paced world of fame and fortune?
For Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, family has always been central. He has made no secret of his love for Chioma, and their public appearances now often radiate warmth and shared purpose. Their quiet civil wedding, their united front during the tragic loss of their son, and now the grand celebration of her milestone birthday—each moment has further cemented their image as a couple who have fought hard to remain together.
Radiogad may have intended his remarks to stir controversy, but in many ways, they ended up affirming Chioma’s grace in the eyes of the public. Far from being a takedown, his words have led many to appreciate the often-overlooked virtues that can make a relationship thrive in the unforgiving spotlight of celebrity culture.
But it also reveals a deeper truth—one that resonates beyond the glitz of celebrity life. In a world obsessed with outward appearances, wealth, and social media theatrics, perhaps the real charm is indeed found in the quiet, unwavering virtues of humility, respect, and loyalty. If Chioma is truly guilty of anything, it may be of holding on to those values—and for Davido, that might just be the magic he can’t resist.
As the drama unfolds and the internet continues its spirited debate, one thing remains certain: Davido and Chioma are, once again, at the center of the cultural conversation. And whether people believe in “charms” or not, the love story of Nigeria’s most talked-about couple continues to captivate, inspire, and yes, even provoke.
