Nigerian media personality Dami Foreign set the internet abuzz on November 23, 2025, after publicly criticizing Chioma Adeleke’s birthday gift to her husband, global Afrobeats star Davido
Media personality Dami Foreign stirred controversy online after voicing disappointment over the birthday gift that Chioma Adeleke gave her husband, Afrobeats superstar Davido, on his 33rd birthday celebrated on November 21, 2025.
In a viral post on Twitter on November 23, 2025, Dami shared a clip of Davido unboxing the present and captioned it:
“Davido bought Chioma a G-Wagon for her birthday but see wetin Chioma buy for Davido for his birthday.”
Her reaction suggested the gift fell short of expectations especially when compared to the ₦200 million Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon Davido gifted Chioma for her 30th birthday on April 30, 2025.
Chioma’s Birthday Celebration for Davido
To celebrate Davido’s milestone birthday, Chioma organized an intimate surprise party at their Atlanta home, attended by family members and close friends. The emotional highlight of the evening was the unveiling of her gift: a custom Hermès Haut à Courroies (HAC) Togo leather bag, valued at approximately ₦60 million (about $38,000 USD).
In a video shared across social platforms, singer Davido reacted with genuine excitement. As he lifted the iconic orange box and revealed the luxury bag, he exclaimed,
“Babe, this is fire!”
He then hugged Chioma tightly and playfully tapped her in appreciation, showing visible joy and affection.

The Couple Behind the Buzz
Davido (David Adedeji Adeleke) remains one of Africa’s biggest music exports, with a fortune exceeding $100 million from music, endorsements, and his record label.
On the other side, his wife, Chioma Avril Rowland Adeleke, popularly known as Chef Chi, is a trained chef, influencer, and model with over 8 million followers online. The couple married in a lavish Lagos ceremony in June 2024 and share three children: a son (2019) and twins (2023).
Divided and Dramatic
Social media users split sharply over Dami’s critique. Some echoed her sentiments, mocking Chioma’s gift as “underwhelming,” arguing that Davido’s earlier G-Wagon warranted an equally grand gesture.
One user wrote:
“And OBO bought her G-Wagon: Fans criticize Chioma’s birthday gift to Davido.”
Others defended Chioma fiercely. They emphasized intentional gifting, arguing that luxury is not solely defined by price tags. As one defender put it:
“To gift people properly, you need to listen to what they want, not what you think equals a gift.”
Supporters also pointed out Davido’s visible joy, dismissing the backlash with comments like:
“Davido loved it, so everywhere good.”
The debate trended under hashtags such as #ChiomaGift and #DavidoBday, blending humor, gender debates, and stan culture.
The controversy highlights the heavy scrutiny surrounding celebrity couples like Davido and Chioma, where even intimate gestures become subjects of public judgment. While Dami’s criticism sparked conversations about material reciprocation, Davido’s genuine excitement underscored a deeper truth: the value of a gift lies not in its price, but in its meaning.
In a social media era obsessed with flashy displays, Chioma’s thoughtfully chosen Hermès bag serves as a reminder that intentionality can outweigh extravagance and that the Adeleke couple’s bond remains unfazed by online noise.
