In a dramatic twist to what was supposed to be a fairytale celebration, Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has found a way to turn Davido and Chioma’s much-publicized #Chivido2025 wedding into yet another topic for heated online discussion. While the world is still basking in the afterglow of the glitz, glamour, and extravagance that came with the $3.7 million event, Maduagwu has decided the real headline is not the grandeur of the venue, the star-studded guest list, or even Chioma’s breathtaking bridal gown—it’s Davido’s trousers. Yes, the groom’s trousers.
Taking to his Instagram page in typical Uche Maduagwu fashion—unfiltered, animated, and unapologetically bold—the actor questioned how a wedding that reportedly gulped $3.7 million could still produce a groom whose trousers didn’t, in his opinion, fit properly. “Davido, how can you spend 3.7 million dollars for #Chivido2025 yet your trousers not fit? This is so sad. I didn’t want to talk about this but I just can’t stop looking at these trousers. Kílódé?” Maduagwu wrote, his words laced with both mockery and disbelief.
For Maduagwu, the issue seemed less about the price tag of the trousers and more about the irony of a wedding so luxurious being marred—at least to his eyes—by an ill-fitting piece of clothing. In his characteristically dramatic style, he drew a comparison between Davido’s high-end attire and cheaper trousers from “Yaba bend down select” markets, implying that even bargain market clothes could have looked better. “Even trousers that are not expensive for Yaba bend down select market no look so funny like this,” he said, leaving no room for doubt about his disdain.
The actor did, however, spare a few words of praise for Chioma, Davido’s new wife, whose wedding dress he described as “beautiful and perfect.” He even went as far as suggesting that the designer responsible for her gown deserved an “award of excellence,” further sharpening the contrast between his perception of the bride’s immaculate look and the groom’s supposed fashion mishap. “My Chiom Chiom wedding dress looks so beautiful and perfect,” he gushed, making it clear that in his book, the bride stole the show—and not just in the romantic sense.
As expected, Maduagwu’s post sparked a flood of reactions online. Some fans agreed with him, pointing out that the trousers did indeed appear slightly off in fit, while others accused him of being unnecessarily critical and trying to chase clout off a couple’s happiest moment. Supporters of Davido were quick to remind critics that fashion is subjective and that what might look “off” to one person could be a deliberate style choice. “This is 2025, bro. Not all grooms want to look like they’re auditioning for a 1980s wedding catalogue,” one fan commented, suggesting the baggier, relaxed fit might have been intentional.
Others dismissed Maduagwu’s comments entirely, labeling them as another attempt to insert himself into trending conversations. Known for his provocative takes on celebrity affairs, Uche has built a reputation for speaking his mind, even when it means courting controversy. Whether it’s calling out actors, musicians, or even politicians, he has shown time and again that no public figure is too big for his critique. And with Davido—arguably one of Africa’s biggest music stars—tying the knot in an event that dominated global entertainment headlines, it was almost inevitable that Maduagwu would weigh in.
The wedding itself, held in grand style, was everything you’d expect from a celebrity power couple like Davido and Chioma. From the opulent venue adorned with flowers that seemed flown in from a dozen countries, to the banquet that could rival a royal feast, every detail screamed wealth and exclusivity. A-listers from Nigeria and beyond graced the occasion, with performances from top musicians and a guest list that read like a who’s who of the entertainment industry. Social media was awash with photos and videos of the stunning decorations, luxurious food spreads, and of course, the couple themselves.
Yet, amid all that splendor, it seems Maduagwu’s laser focus was drawn to Davido’s suit—specifically the trousers. Some fashion analysts who weighed in on the matter suggested that the fit might have been a result of current global trends in men’s fashion, which have shifted from the slim-fit style of previous years to more relaxed and draped silhouettes. “Loose-fitting trousers are making a huge comeback in high fashion,” one stylist noted. “It’s possible that Davido’s suit was tailored to reflect that trend. To some, it may look baggy or unfitted, but to others, it’s on point with the runway styles we’ve been seeing.”
Of course, in the realm of celebrity weddings, especially one as highly publicized as #Chivido2025, every detail is bound to be scrutinized. From the champagne brand to the flower arrangements, and apparently even down to the stitching on a groom’s trousers, nothing escapes public commentary. In this case, Maduagwu’s remarks have only amplified that scrutiny, ensuring that “Davido’s wedding trousers” now occupies its own peculiar place in the wedding’s legacy.
Interestingly, Davido himself has not publicly responded to the actor’s comments. Known for his ability to shrug off criticisms and focus on his music and family, the “Timeless” crooner might very well see the matter as too trivial to warrant a reply. Chioma, likewise, has remained silent, seemingly unbothered as she basks in the joy of her new marriage. Fans, however, have been doing the defending for them, with some even turning the matter into memes, humorously Photoshopping Davido’s trousers into exaggerated shapes for comic effect.
What is clear is that in the age of social media, no moment—no matter how personal or monumental—is immune to public opinion. The $3.7 million price tag of the wedding might have set tongues wagging on its own, but Maduagwu’s unexpected focus on one item of clothing has now given the event an extra layer of gossip fodder. Whether you see his remarks as fair fashion critique or unnecessary trolling, they’ve certainly succeeded in keeping #Chivido2025 at the center of online conversation days after the vows were exchanged.
In the end, while the world may eventually forget about the flowers, the champagne, and even some of the celebrity guests, it’s beginning to look like Davido’s trousers might be one detail that lives on in public memory—thanks, in no small part, to Uche Maduagwu’s relentless commentary. Love, luxury, and a side of trouser talk—that, it seems, is the unexpected legacy of one of the most lavish celebrity weddings Nigeria has ever seen.
