'You've been my best friend, my healer, my calm in every storm,' Davido said. 'God sent you to show me deep, unconditional love. We're still here, stronger forever. I promise to protect you with my actions.' Chioma, in turn, pledged: 'As a symbol of my vows to you and all that I have, all that I am, I honour you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.'

The couple's love story dates back to 2013, when they first met at Babcock University in Ogun State, Nigeria. At the time, Davido was pursuing a bachelor's degree in music, while Chioma was studying economics.
Chioma later pursued a career in food, becoming a professional chef known as Chef Chi.
Their relationship remained private for several years, officially becoming public in 2018 when Davido began sharing photos and videos of Chioma on his social media platforms. In 2019, she starred in his 'Assurance' music video, a gesture that showcased their love to the world.

Opening up about the relationship at the time, Davido expressed gratefulness to have met her before his incredible rise to fame, stating that she loved him for him and not his success.
Shortly afterwards, the pair welcomed a son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, who died in 2022 following a drowning incident at their home. In 2023, they reportedly welcomed twins, a baby boy and girl, who they have kept well out of the public eye.

Playboy is moving its headquarters from Los Angeles to Miami Beach, opening new club
Playboy plans to relocate its global headquarters from Los Angeles to Miami Beach and open a Playboy club there. The Miami Beach headquarters at the top of a luxury office building will include studios to support Playboy's "growing creator network" and the club will have a restaurant as well as a members-only section inspired by the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, the company said Thursday in a statement. "Miami Beach is among the most dynamic and culturally influential cities in the country, making it the ideal home for Playboy's next chapter," Ben Kohn, CEO of Playboy Inc., said in the statement. The first Playboy Magazine was published in 1953, featuring Marilyn Monroe on the cover and in a "Sweetheart of the Month" color nude photo inside. The first Playboy Club opened in 1960 in Chicago, which was the headquarters of the company at the time, and the company opened up clubs around the world. In 2020, Playboy ceased publishing its monthly print magazine, sticking instead with online content.

Rapper T-Hood's slaying may have been self-defense as police suspect girlfriend's brother
The shooting death of 33-year-old rapper T-Hood at his residence in Georgia is being investigated as a possible self-defense case, according to police in Gwinnett County, northeast of Atlanta. Police have identified the alleged shooter as Ky Lasheed Frost, 24, the son of 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' stars Rasheeda and Kirk Frost. Ky Frost was detained at the scene of the shooting and interviewed, but no charges have been filed against him. A representative for Rasheeda did not reply immediately to The Times' request for comment Friday. Authorities responded to a domestic dispute at approximately 7 p.m. on Aug. 8 and discovered the rapper — real name Tevin Hood — suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries. Hood was dating Ky Frost's sister, Kelsie Frost, according to TMZ. The entertainment news site also published surveillance video recorded earlier this year in their apartment that showed them in a physical altercation. In the video, Hood walks around the bedroom while Kelsie Frost is lying on the bed. The video appears to show Hood as he leaps toward her and begins to choke her. Ky Frost and a witness, Ariel Miranda Hutchinson, 25, remained on the scene of the shooting last Friday and cooperated with investigators, police said. Meanwhile, a female victim sustained physical injuries, police said. Kelsie Frost posted a carousel of photos of herself and Hood last Saturday on Instagram with the caption, 'Just come get me baby please….. I can't even type this. I love you papa. I can't wait to hold you again.' The investigation is ongoing.
