Africa’s richest man Alhaji Aliko Dangote has revealed a touching moment when the popular musician David Adeleke, who is also known as Davido, chose love and family over money at his recent lavish wedding to Chioma, his wife in faraway United States of America (USA).
The Nigerian youthful superstar, Dangote revealed, has shown the world that there are yet other things that are worth more than money after Davido turned down a jaw-dropping $2.1 million wedding gift from his godfather, Dangote.
The multi-billionaire Dangote, who revealed the emotional encounter after the wedding, explained that Davido and his wife Chioma had personally visited him in Atlanta with an invitation to their wedding in Miami, Florida, USA.
According to Dangote, he had initially apologized for not being sure he could attend the ceremony due to his busy schedules, and instead offered the couple $2.1 million in support. But to his greatest surprise, Davido politely refused the money, saying, “All I need from you as my godfather is your presence at my wedding.”
The revelation left Dangote stunned, but also deeply touched him. He then decided to honor Davido’s request and attended the ceremony in person.
The billionaire described the moment as one that reminded him of the true essence of family, loyalty, and love beyond wealth.
Davido’s decision has since sparked massive reactions online, with fans celebrating him for prioritizing relationships over riches. His wedding to Chioma has already been tagged one of the most glamorous celebrity events of the year, but this heartfelt story between Davido and Dangote is what’s winning many hearts globally.
