Afrobeats superstar Davido (David Adedeji Adeleke) and chef Chioma Rowland Adeleke have received an international spotlight after Vogue ran an in-depth pictorial and feature on their lavish “Lagos-to-Miami” wedding. The Vogue piece walks readers through the couple’s multi-day celebrations — from traditional moments in Lagos to the white reception at Mana Wynwood in Miami — and highlights the ceremony’s blend of Nigerian ritual and high-glamour production.
Vogue’s coverage describes Chioma in multiple custom gowns (including a custom Alonuko bridal look) and Davido in Tom Ford, notes the couple’s tributes to their late son Ifeanyi, and recalls performances and creative direction provided by family and close collaborators. The feature frames the event as both a personal celebration and a cultural statement — bringing Lagos energy to an international stage.
The placement in Vogue has amplified global interest: major Nigerian outlets republished the feature and fans around the world reshared the photos and clips across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok and YouTube. Vogue’s own Instagram post of the feature drew massive engagement, underlining the story’s crossover appeal.

• Vogue’s Instagram post celebrating the couple’s feature generated large engagement and helped push the story onto global feeds.
• Nigerian entertainment sites and blogs ran followups highlighting wardrobe details, guest list moments, and the “bringing Lagos to Miami” theme.
• Social media reaction has been mostly celebratory — fans praising the styling, the emotional tributes, and the fact that a major international fashion title showcased a Nigerian wedding — but a few viral clips and posts sparked debate about candid moments (some users read certain clips as awkward or “irritated” reactions), producing both critique and conversation alongside congratulations.
• Short videos and reaction streams on YouTube and X have further amplified the coverage, with content creators contextualizing the Vogue spread for international audiences.
