"How Chioma Supported Me During The Creation Of ‘5ive’"

Nigerian music icon Davido has talked candidly about how his wife, Chioma Adeleke, was instrumental in the production of his most recent album, “5ive,” which has already achieved significant success in 2025.

Davido disclosed in an open interview how Chioma’s constant presence and support gave him the drive and motivation he needed to finish the project.

The 17-track album “5ive,” which was released on April 18, 2025, features a stellar collection of both domestic and foreign performers, including Victoria Monét, Chris Brown, Becky G, Chike, ODUMODUBLVCK, Omah Lay, and Victony.

The album, which combines Afrobeats, R&B, and international pop influences, demonstrates Davido’s versatility.

Davido’s reputation as a worldwide music superstar has been cemented by the album’s commercial success, which saw it launch at number two on the World Albums chart with 7,000 equivalent album units sold in its first week.

Beyond the glamour of the music, however, Davido has stated that “5ive” would not have been possible without the love and encouragement of his wife, Chioma.

Speaking in a recent interview, Davido did not hesitate to express his gratitude to Chioma, saying:

“Shoutout to Chioma. When I was recording the album, she was around and gave me the energy to work.”

For Davido, Chioma was not just a silent supporter. Her presence in the studio and her emotional support became a source of motivation for him, especially during late-night recording sessions and moments of creative block.

According to Davido, she provided more than just physical support—she gave him the emotional stability he needed to focus on his craft.

Interestingly, Chioma’s influence on the album extends to the music itself. When asked about her favorite song on the album, Davido revealed that Chioma has a personal preference for the track “10 Kilo.”

“When I spoke with her two days ago, she’s shifting towards ’10 Kilo’,” Davido said.

This preference highlights how closely Chioma is connected to Davido’s music, not just as a fan but as a genuine part of his creative journey.

From the Studio to the Spotlight: Chioma’s Unwavering Presence

Chioma’s support for Davido extended outside the studio. She accompanied him to the ‘5ive’ album after-party in New York, where her presence sparked fan appreciation.

Chioma was commended by many for being a graceful and powerful girlfriend who has supported Davido no matter what.

She has become a revered figure among Davido’s fan base due to her quiet confidence and kind manner; many have taken to social media to show their appreciation for her encouraging demeanour.

A Love That Inspires: Davido and Chioma’s Resilient Bond

Over the years, Davido and Chioma’s love story has been extensively documented, encompassing both happy and difficult periods as well as moments of perseverance.

When Davido released the popular tune “Assurance,” a love ballad dedicated to Chioma, in 2018, their relationship became well-known.

Davido’s public proposal to Chioma solidified their position as one of Nigeria’s most adored celebrity couples, and the music video featuring her became a cultural sensation.

The pair has stayed faithful to one another in the face of personal difficulties and public criticism, and their relationship has only gotten closer.

Another indication of how strong their bond is is Davido’s sincere homage to Chioma on the release of “5ive.”
