They were planned to marry in 2020, but their plans were pushed back owing to the coronavirus epidemic. Things began to go south in mid-2020 when reports spread that Chioma had left the artist’s apartment. The couple apparently unfollowed each other on Instagram, with some followers claiming Chioma was a victim of domestic abuse throughout her relationship with the musician. But she quickly dispelled the rumors. Chioma, on the other hand, erased all of the singer’s photos from her Instagram account. Rumors circulated on the internet in December of that year that the singer had spent Christmas and New Year’s with model Mya Yafai. Two months later, in February, photos of the apparent pair exiting a bar in the United States went viral.

Davido and Chioma eventually reunited.

Despite their fame, the couple seemed to have sorted out their issues and were sighted together celebrating their son’s birthday in October 2021, marking their first public appearance. Things began to fall into place when Chioma and their kid were photographed attending the singer’s London performance in March 2022. According to reports, the artist dispatched his private plane to Nigeria to transport the couple to the spot.
