Afrobeats megastar, Davido, has found himself at the center of an online controversy following claims that the G-Wagon he gifted his wife, Chioma Rowland, for her 30th birthday was not purchased outright but instead rented.
The artist, who is globally celebrated for his musical success and luxurious lifestyle, had organized an extravagant birthday celebration for Chioma, which was attended by high-profile guests, family members, close friends, and fans. The highlight of the evening was the moment Davido surprised Chioma with a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon valued at approximately ₦450 million, a gesture that sparked admiration across social media platforms.
While many lauded Davido for the romantic gesture, recent reports have surfaced online alleging that the luxury SUV may not have been a permanent gift, but a rented vehicle presented temporarily during the party. This report has generated mixed reactions among netizens, with many expressing disappointment, while others have defended the singer’s intentions.
Nollywood actor and social media personality, Uche Maduagwu, also weighed in on the controversy in a lengthy Instagram post. He expressed concern over the rumors and questioned why a billionaire like Davido would resort to gifting a rented vehicle rather than investing in Chioma’s future in a more sustainable way.
“I love Davido and my Chiom Chiom, but if this information is true, then it’s so WRONG Baba. I mean, OGA Davido, you are a Billionaire Na, which one be all this?” Uche wrote.
He went further to suggest that Davido could have made a more impactful gesture by helping Chioma launch a restaurant business, emphasizing that her influence and charm would attract massive patronage.
“Anyways, in the video above, Davido NEVER said the Mercedes Car was BRAND New or Rented, we only saw him presenting her the car, maybe the original car gift still Dey for road. That car, a brand new one, is worth more than 400 Million Naira, Abeg, do you know how many Restaurants that will buy for this good woman if Davido decide to INVEST in her CAREER? Do you now see why it’s not real?” he concluded.
The post has sparked widespread discussions on social media, with some fans calling for clarity on the matter while others have dismissed the allegations as attempts to stir unnecessary drama. As of now, Davido has not officially addressed the claims, leaving the public to speculate.
