In a powerful moment of self-reflection, Nigerian music superstar Davido has announced that he’s done with the chaos and heartache caused by infidelity, choosing instead to prioritize peace in his family life. Speaking on The Breakfast Club, the Afrobeats legend declared, “I said I’m not cheating again. I no dey cheat again. You no hear wetin I talk? Cheating comes with lots of problems. I have five kids with four women, and I don’t want any wahala.”
Davido’s admission marks a significant shift from the high-octane lifestyle of the “Omo Baba Olowo” era, where his relationships and controversies often took center stage. Now, after a turbulent journey in both his personal and public life, he’s turning a new leaf, making a commitment to fidelity and family.
His decision comes after years of dealing with public scrutiny, including rumors surrounding his marriage to Chioma Rowland, whom he wed in 2023. Despite the ongoing speculation, Davido revealed that he’s found strength in his relationship with Chioma, calling her his “rock,” particularly after their devastating loss of their son, Ifeanyi, in 2022.
Drawing a contrast between his own life and that of his family members, including his uncle Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Davido acknowledged that even wealth and multiple relationships cannot shield one from problems. “My uncle that’s a governor has two wives. Another uncle said that all his wives lived with him, and they played with each other. But upon all the money, there’s still wahala,” Davido observed, adding that he was no longer interested in a life of excess and conflict.
This public shift in Davido’s perspective represents a new chapter for the artist — one focused on growth, stability, and healing. By choosing his family over fleeting fame, he is embracing a future of peace and loyalty, leaving behind the drama that has often overshadowed his career.
As Davido continues to evolve, his latest statement signals not only a new phase in his personal life but also a potential turning point in his music and public image — one where his authenticity and dedication to family shine brighter than ever before
