DeeOne Slams Chioma’s Family For Allowing Traditional Wedding To Davido In Lagos [Video]

Big Brother Naija reality star, DeeOne has expressed his disappointment about the traditional wedding of Afrobeats superstar Davido and Chioma Rowland.

The traditional wedding of Davido and Chioma was a major event held in Lagos State on Tuesday, June 25.

DeeOne felt the event should have been held in Imo State, Chioma’s hometown. Instead, Chioma’s family and traditional leaders came to Lagos for the ceremony.

In a video shared on Instagram, DeeOne said he thought the Igbos had business sense and should have known that hosting the wedding in the South-East would bring economic benefits.

The comedian said Davido disrespected Chioma’s elders by asking them to come to Lagos for the wedding.

DeeOne stated, “I have been waiting to end so I can say my mind. Congratulations to the couple. But Igbo people, you didn’t do well.

“Because the groom is rich you allow them to step on tradition. If it were to be a poor man, you would insist that he should come to the East for the wedding. It has to happen in the bride’s hometown. That’s the way it is.

“But because of money, respected Igbo leaders travelled to Lagos for a traditional wedding. This is the first time I’m hearing this kind of thing in my life.

“If the wedding had happened in the bride’s hometown, there would have been a lot of economic benefits.

“In life, just have money. That’s all I will say. Just have money. There’s nothing like tradition. I didn’t believe the wedding would happen in Lagos.

“I thought it was mandatory in Igbo culture to hold a traditional wedding in the bride’s hometown.

“But I didn’t know that Igbo tradition is divided into two; one for the rich and the other for the poor.”
