I felt pressured to marry Chioma – Davido

Popular singer David Adeleke, who is popular by his stage name Davido, has revealed how he felt pressured to marry his fiance, Chioma Avril Rowland.

Davido and Chioma have been together a long time. The singer made their relationship public when he revealed Chioma as his girlfriend in the video of his hit song “Assurance“.

According to OBO, this was when the nightmare began as Chioma received a lot of hate messages from social media.

Davido on Tuesday in an interview with Ndani TV revealed that making his relationship with Chioma public affected her life and their relationships.

Davido said: “After the Assurance video, Chioma received hate messages from people. Her parents even got hateful messages.

“It affected our relationship too. Chioma went from being a private person. It affected our relationship a lot then I realized people don’t like something good.

“We started having issues at some point and we decided not to tell anyone anything about us, that’s was when I decided to go offline for a while.

“Before Assurance video, our relationship was so good. The dynamics between us changed after our relationship became public. It was like everybody’s relationship and business.

“I felt pressured at some point to officially do the wedding but now I don’t. At the end of the day it’s between both of us and our families.”

When asked if they would still get married, Davido affirmed that but said it’s not the right time.

According to him, “We would get married but not now. We are trying to make the foundation solid, and I’m so happy now that Chioma is focused on making money.

“We are not riding on the wave that people want this for us.”

When asked about his upcoming album, the singer said confidently that fans should expect “hits”.
