1. Davido returns to social media
In October 2022, Davido’s Ifeanyi passed away and hearts broke for Davido and his fiancée-turned-wife, Chioma, aka Chef Chi.

Social media went up in flames of excitement as the singer finally returned in March, bearing a gift, his latest album, Timeless.
2. Davido and Chioma got married

The singer warmed the hearts of Nigerians hoping for a grand wedding with the joyful news.
Months later, photos of the singer’s court wedding went viral on social media.
3. Davido bus limited edition Maybach
The singer is known for his extravagant lifestyle and spending; he doesn’t hold back on splurging on cars and designer accessories.
Few months after his celebrated arrival, the singer purchased a limited edition Virgin Abloh Maybach, reportedly costing N394m.
Davido had it delivered to Nigeria by air, and his fans hailed him for being the baddest as usual.
4. Anita Brown says she’s pregnant for Davido
The first wave of disappointment hit Nigerians after a lady, Anita Brown, allegedly Davido’s side chic in the US stormed social media in August.
The model claimed she was pregnant for the singer and shared proof that they had an affair while he was allegedly married to Chioma.
To date, Anita takes occasional swipes at the singer and his numerous fans who keep defending him.

Sophia also affirmed that Davido is dead and buried to her.
6. Ex NFF President calls out Davido
This was the first call out on social media regarding the unfulfillment of agreed contract and money on social media.

This is perhaps the biggest highlight of the year so far for the singer as he welcomed twins, a boy and a girl in October.
The singer lost his Ifeanyi in October 2022, and his bundles of joy arrived in the same month.
Fans and colleagues of the singer rejoiced with him and a fight soon erupted after a video of his kids showed up on the internet.
To celebrate their arrival, Davido welcomed Chioma back home in style and gave her expensive designer bags and a house in Atlanta.

Singer Dammy Krane and music producer Samklef jumped on the opportunity and have been calling the singer out over other debts relating to them as well.
