LAGOS, Nigeria — Grammy-nominated Afrobeats singer Davido has revealed that his wife, Chioma Adeleke, manages his finances, referring to her as his “life coordinator” and admitting that he spends recklessly without her oversight.
The 33-year-old singer made the revelation during a live session on Davrel Twitch on Thursday, where he attempted to send $4,000 to his personal assistant, Lati. However, Davido was unable to complete the transaction due to connectivity issues, prompting him to explain why he could not access his bank account without Chioma’s involvement.
“My wife manages my money because I spend recklessly,” Davido said during the broadcast. “She is my life coordinator. Without her, I would just be spending everything.”
The singer’s comments quickly went viral, with fans and followers praising the couple’s dynamic and expressing admiration for Chioma’s role in managing the household finances. Many noted that such arrangements are common in successful relationships, particularly when one partner is more financially disciplined.
Davido, who is one of Africa’s most successful musicians with a career spanning over a decade, has been open about his lavish lifestyle and spending habits. His admission that he requires oversight to manage his wealth has been met with both humour and respect from fans.
The couple, who married in 2023, have often been regarded as one of Nigeria’s most powerful celebrity unions. Chioma, a chef and entrepreneur, has maintained a relatively private profile compared to her husband’s public persona.
This is not the first time Davido has publicly praised his wife. In previous interviews, he has credited Chioma with providing stability and balance in his life, often referring to her as his “backbone” and the person who keeps him grounded.
The singer’s latest revelation adds to his reputation for candid and relatable commentary, which has endeared him to millions of fans across the globe.
As the video continues to circulate on social media, many have commended the couple for their openness, with some joking that Chioma should consider charging for financial management services. For now, Davido’s message is clear: behind every great man is a woman managing his bank account.
