“Please Give Me Access to the Greatest Country in the World” – Cubana Chief Priest’s Emotional Plea After Missing Davido’s Miami Wedding

It was supposed to be one of the grandest celebrations of the year — the much-talked-about wedding of Nigerian superstar Davido and his wife Chioma, held in the glamorous city of Miami. The lavish event, tagged #ChiVido2025, drew celebrities, dignitaries, and close friends from around the world. But one notable face was missing from the festivities — nightlife king and celebrity barman, Cubana Chief Priest. His absence, however, was not due to disinterest or neglect, but an unavoidable circumstance that has now become a heartfelt public plea to the United States authorities.

In an emotional post shared on his Instagram page, Cubana Chief Priest, born Pascal Okechukwu, opened up about waking up with mixed feelings on the day after the wedding. He expressed his joy for his best friend’s milestone but admitted to the deep sadness of not being physically present to celebrate alongside him. “Woke up this morning with mixed feelings, I’m happy and I’m still sad at the same time,” he wrote. “Sometimes God has a way of making you understand that you are powerless regardless of all you may think you have.”

Known for his larger-than-life personality, generosity, and unwavering loyalty to friends, Cubana Chief Priest’s absence was felt not only by Davido but also by fans who had expected to see him make a grand entrance in Miami. He acknowledged the public reaction, saying, “I appreciate the bashing because that has given me multiple reasons & proof to apply again @usinnigeria.” In his message, he made a direct appeal to the United States Consulate in Nigeria, pleading, “Do it for me this time, you can clearly see how disappointed & hurt the world is to see me absent at my best friend’s wedding. You need to give me access to get my fat ass into America.”

It’s not the first time Cubana Chief Priest has been vocal about his travels and lifestyle, but this time, the tone was different — more vulnerable, heartfelt, and tinged with the sting of missed memories. While some celebrities might have stayed silent about such an ordeal, he chose to address it openly, admitting that delay is never denial and expressing hope for future access. “CP is still hopeful,” he declared, reinforcing his belief that one day soon, he will be able to step foot in “the greatest country in the world.”

Despite being thousands of miles away, Cubana Chief Priest still found a way to share in the joy of the occasion. He extended his warm wishes to Davido and Chioma, describing their union as an “amazing wedlock” and praising his wife, @_deangels, who was present at the wedding. “The largest part of me which is my family, my beautiful, elegant, expensive, eloquent & sophisticated wife @_deangels are there to share in this luxury blissful experience, so I’m there in body & spirit,” he noted, emphasizing that his love and support were unshaken.

The businessman and entertainer also revealed his determination to reapply for a U.S. visa, stating, “@usinnigeria I’m in again next week please give me access to the greatest country in the world. This pain is really paining.” His words quickly spread across social media, sparking conversations among fans, influencers, and fellow celebrities about the challenges of international travel, even for public figures of his stature.

Davido’s Miami wedding had been a spectacle of opulence, with star-studded guests, dazzling fashion, and a setting that epitomized luxury. It was a moment of cultural pride for Nigeria, showcasing the global influence of Afrobeats and the growing prominence of Nigerian entertainers on the world stage. For Cubana Chief Priest, missing out on such a monumental celebration was more than just skipping a party — it was the loss of an irreplaceable shared memory with someone he considers a brother.

Social media users poured out mixed reactions to his post. Some sympathized, urging the U.S. authorities to grant him access, while others teased him for being overly dramatic. Memes, jokes, and supportive comments flooded Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), proving once again how deeply connected Nigerian pop culture is to the personalities who define it.

For a man whose brand is built on being physically present at the most exclusive gatherings, Cubana Chief Priest’s absence was indeed notable. He has long been known as the life of the party, a man whose energy, style, and charisma light up every room he enters. From nightclubs to private celebrations, his presence often signals that an event has truly reached top-tier status. This time, however, it was his heartfelt absence that spoke the loudest.

In his plea, there was a mixture of humor and sincerity — the self-deprecating “get my fat ass into America” remark lightened the mood, but the underlying emotion was clear: he felt left out of a history-making moment for one of his closest friends. And while Davido’s wedding will go down in entertainment history as one of the most glamorous Nigerian celebrity weddings ever held, for Cubana Chief Priest, it will also be remembered as the one that got away.

Still, his optimism remains unshaken. By declaring his intention to reapply immediately, he’s sending a message not just to the U.S. Consulate, but to his fans: setbacks happen, but they don’t define you. “Delay is never denial” has now become more than just a hopeful phrase — it’s a testament to his resilience and belief in turning disappointment into motivation.

As the glitter and glamour of Davido and Chioma’s Miami wedding continue to dominate social media, Cubana Chief Priest’s plea stands out as a reminder that even the biggest stars face obstacles beyond their control. His transparency about his disappointment, his lighthearted self-jabs, and his unwavering support for his friend, all paint the picture of a man who wears his heart on his sleeve — and his loyalty like a badge of honor.

Whether or not his wish to “gain access to the greatest country in the world” will be granted remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Cubana Chief Priest has turned a moment of absence into a public show of love, humility, and persistence, ensuring that even though he wasn’t there in Miami, his presence was felt loud and clear across the globe.

And when — not if — he finally steps foot in America for the next big celebration, you can be sure that Cubana Chief Priest will make it an entrance worth remembering. Until then, his words echo in the hearts of fans and friends alike: “This pain is really paining.”
