Popular singer, Davido has revealed that featuring Chioma, his fiancée in the video of Assurance, the song he dedicated to her, nearly ruin their relationship.
Speaking on Ndani TV‘s The Juice, the music star said the video attracted a lot of hate speeches to Chioma.
He recounted, “I remember when we shot the video, it was actually just a joke and jokingly I asked her to shoot the video with me. At first, she was like no, because at that time she was at Babcock and she might get kicked out of school and her parents didn’t really know that she was seeing me.”
Revealing how their relationship nearly hit the rock, he said: “We did the video and then it dropped, it was crazy. And over time, it affected our relationship. Because she’s getting messages from like 5k people that don’t have faces to their accounts, saying nonsense, hate messages.
“Even her parents use to get hate texts. It affected our relationship a lot because, before the Assurance video, stuff was so cool. The relationship became a public relationship.”
Admitting that at a time, he felt a lot of pressure to get married, Davido said marriage is off the table for now.
“I did but now we don’t. I actually did feel pressured but at the end of the day, it is between me and her. It’s not our parents, the public, or our siblings, it is between me and her.
I’m so happy that now she’s getting into the money, we are trying to build a house too. Just trying to make the foundation so solid and not just do something because we are riding on the wave of what people want,” he added.
