Controversial reality star DeeOne has criticized the family of Chioma Rowland, wife of Afrobeats singer Davido, for holding their daughter’s traditional wedding in Lagos instead of their home state of Imo.
NEWSTODAYNG recalls that Davido and Chioma’s traditional wedding took place at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Tuesday.
In a video message shared on his Instagram account, DeeOne expressed his disapproval, berating Chioma’s family for choosing a hotel venue for the traditional ceremony.
“This is the first time I’m hearing this kind of thing in my life. If the wedding had happened in the bride’s hometown, there would have been a lot of economic benefits,” DeeOne stated.
He argued that the decision to hold the wedding in Lagos was influenced by Davido’s wealth, suggesting that if the groom were poor, the family would have insisted on the traditional wedding being held in the bride’s hometown in the East.
DeeOne lamented, “But because of money, respected Igbo leaders travelled to Lagos for a traditional wedding.”
He further emphasized the significance of adhering to cultural traditions, highlighting the disparity in how traditions are upheld for the rich versus the poor. “In life, just have money. That’s all I will say. Just have money. There’s nothing like tradition,” he added.
