A video from Davido's surprise birthday party for Chioma has sparked major online debate. The singer gifted her a luxury G-Wagon and a sparkling diamond bracelet, but instead of all hearts, some fans are calling out the display -- questioning whether he's really "investing in love" or just flexing. Netizens haven't held back, and the reaction has been as hot as it has been mixed.
Davido, one of Nigeria's biggest music stars, once again caused a social media storm -- but this time, not just for his musical talent. During Chioma's 30th birthday celebration, he surprised her with a brand-new G-Wagon and later presented her with a diamond bracelet. On paper, it's the kind of romantic gesture that would melt hearts. But a big swath of fans aren't swooning -- they're criticizing.
What Fans Are Saying
Some fans are asking whether the G-Wagon was even purchased for her. Controversial actor Uche Maduagwu claimed that Davido actually rented the car for the occasion rather than buying it outright, arguing that such money might have been better spent helping Chioma build her own career. The accusations caught fire on the internet, people debated about whether ostentatious gifts are meaningful or just publicity.
Others went further, suggesting Chioma has too much "charm" over Davido -- a media personality even said she might have "bewitched" him. In his comments, he praised her humility and loyalty, but also raised some uncomfortable questions about influence and power in their relationship.
Support for Chioma
Not everyone is bashing Chioma. Talent manager Ubi Franklin came to her defense, saying that it's unfair to only look at what she gets in public without acknowledging what she gives. He claimed that Chioma has quietly spent money on Davido -- revealing that on his 30th birthday, she gave him 30 different gifts. According to Ubi, just because she doesn't show off all on social media doesn't mean she doesn't do her part.
The Bigger Picture
This drama taps into a familiar theme in the world of celebrities: how public displays of wealth feed into admiration and criticism. When musicians like Davido gift luxury cars or expensive jewelry, some see romance -- others see a power play. For fans, it's not so much the gift, but what it symbolizes: status, devotion and sometimes, spectacle.
There's also a more intimate conversation hidden here -- about how in today's celebrity marriages, gestures of love are often measured in millions of naira, and how that can rub people the wrong way. It's not unlike when other Nigerian stars face this kind of scrutiny: lavish lifestyle=double edged praise.
Conclusion
Davido's grand gestures for Chioma's birthday are intended to celebrate love, but for many, they've become the latest example of how showy wealth in relationships triggers mixed emotions. Some fans accuse him of over-spending, while others defend Chioma's value beyond material gifts. One thing is obvious, in the world of Naija celebrity romance, love and luxury don't always make peace online.
