Controversial reality star DeeOne has criticized the family of Afrobeats singer Davido’s wife, Chioma Rowland, for holding their daughter’s traditional wedding in Lagos instead of their home state of Imo. According to Thepaan, 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 of Chioma’s family for organizing the traditional wedding in a hotel. He remarked that it was the first time he had seen an Igbo lady getting married traditionally in Lagos.
DeeOne said, “I have been waiting to say my mind. Congratulations to the couple. But Igbo people, you didn’t do well. Because the groom is rich, you allowed them to step on tradition. If it were a poor man, you would insist that he come to the East for the wedding. It has to happen in the bride’s hometown. That’s the way it is.

“But because of money, respected Igbo leaders traveled to Lagos for a traditional wedding. 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.
“In life, just have money. That’s all I will say. Just have money. There’s nothing like tradition. I didn’t believe the wedding would happen in Lagos. I thought it was mandatory in Igbo culture to hold a traditional wedding in the bride’s hometown. But I didn’t know that Igbo tradition is divided into two; one for the rich and the other for the poor.”
