Chioma Adeleke, wife of globally renowned Nigerian Afrobeat artist David Adeleke—better known as Davido—has highlighted her husband’s role in fostering her personal and professional growth beyond their marriage. In a recent interview with Aziza Major of NoreTV, she emphasized Davido’s active support in helping her balance life’s demands while pursuing her aspirations.
“David isn’t just my partner—he’s someone who genuinely cares about my goals,” Chioma shared. Reflecting on challenges she has confronted in recent years, she revealed how the Grammy-nominated musician consistently encouraged her to define her ambitions. “He often asks, ‘Chi, aside from everything else, what do you really want to achieve?’” she recounted, underscoring his focus on ensuring her fulfillment outside familial roles.
Though Chioma has largely maintained a private profile compared to her husband—a chart-topping artist celebrated for hits like “Fall” and “Unavailable”—the interview offered rare insight into their partnership. She described Davido’s mentorship as instrumental in navigating obstacles, enabling her to explore opportunities she had long contemplated but hesitated to pursue.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2023, also hinted at collaborative ventures underway. While specifics remain undisclosed, Chioma noted that joint projects are slated for release in 2025. “We’re working on exciting plans together,” she stated, without elaborating on whether these involve music, business, or philanthropic efforts.
Davido, whose career spans over a decade, has frequently acknowledged Chioma’s influence in his life, often dedicating songs to her. This mutual support system appears central to their relationship, blending personal and professional collaboration. Observers have noted Chioma’s gradual steps into the public eye, including her appearance in Davido’s music videos and social media campaigns.
Her comments resonate amid broader conversations about spousal support in male-dominated industries, particularly in African entertainment. While Davido’s global fame often overshadows his family life, Chioma’s remarks shed light on their dynamic, emphasizing shared growth over traditional spousal roles.
Fans and industry stakeholders alike await further details about their upcoming initiatives, with many speculating whether Chioma will leverage her culinary skills—a passion she’s occasionally showcased online—or venture into new domains. For now, her focus remains on building a legacy intertwined with, yet distinct from, her husband’s meteoric career.
The interview, part of NoreTV’s series spotlighting influential African women, underscores shifting narratives around marriage and ambition on the continent—a theme increasingly visible among power couples in African entertainment. As projects materialize in 2025, Chioma’s journey may offer a blueprint for balancing partnership with individual aspirations in the public eye.
