The past 12 hours have been turbulent for fans of Afrobeats star Davido and his wife, Chioma, following controversial allegations that the singer was involved in an extramarital affair.
The drama erupted online after a woman, in a series of viral posts allegedly linked to the TikTok account Milkshake, accused Davido of secretly seeing another woman and financially supporting her business.
The woman alleged that a certain Jessie Awazie had been visiting the singer discreetly and claimed Davido had sent her $20,000 to start a business.
She further accused the singer of favouring Jessie over Chioma, sparking outrage among fans.
She wrote: “Jessie Awazie, your time is up. Today is your judgement day. You €1 soul. CHIOMA ADELEKE, Jessie Awazie has been sleeping with your husband. Jessie made your husband pay 25 million naira to Jand! Because he threatened to her with David.”
“She stole the brand from him. The payment made to Jand is the apology. Davido gave her 20k to finance the business but he cannot set up business for you! CHIOMA AVRIL ROWLAND, you are married to your enemy.”
In a follow-up post, she mentioned others allegedly involved: “Bobo was the lawyer who drafted the agreement and Tycoon was behind the whole processing.” She added: “Chioma, you want to come and deceive all of us in August over a fake love. Your man is fuking Jessie. Bought Jessie a Birkin. A second-hand one. LAYAL TINUBU, your husband ST paid for Jessie’s new Birkin.”*
However, the narrative took a turn after the same individual went online to retract the allegations. In a series of new posts, she distanced herself from the viral claims, insisting Davido was never directly mentioned in her rants.
“It’s crazy how far this has gone! I never mentioned Davido’s in any of my rants! That girl in question has many enemies waiting for this day to come. I was just dragging her for what she did to me and she pushed me to wall!” she said.
“I woke up this morning to her texts on TikTok insulting me and saying she wasn’t gonna send my money! I’m not arrested and I’m doing just fine! I don’t even know about half of what was posted there and some are lies! The person is another of her close friends she probably hurt! She has too many close friends,” she added.
Amid the confusion, Davido trended online once again, not only because of the allegations but also due to his recent comments about polygamy and possibly marrying a second wife. He addressed lingering rumours surrounding his fidelity, with fans speculating on whether past patterns might resurface.
Davido’s marital life has often been in the spotlight. In 2023, the singer faced multiple cheating allegations from different women, making it one of the most controversial years of his public life.
Despite the latest online controversy, no official statement has been released by Davido or Chioma at the time of this report.
