Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, David Adeleke, affectionately known as Davido, has been making headlines recently following his absence from the Grammy awards despite receiving three nominations. Amidst this buzz, Davido’s spouse, Chioma Adeleke, took to Twitter, sharing heartwarming photos of herself and her husband, accompanied by the caption, “When you’re your baby’s baby.” However, amidst the sea of adoration, a follower seized the opportunity to criticize Chioma, labeling her as merely a “baby factory.”
This critic didn’t stop there; they also directed their ire towards Davido, suggesting that his failure to secure a Grammy could be attributed to his choice in life partner. According to the commenter, had Davido married someone of the stature of Beyonce or Jada Pinkett Smith, his Grammy success would have been assured. They even went further to advise aspiring Grammy-winning musicians to emulate Davido’s counterparts, such as Beyonce or Jada Pinkett Smith, rather than settling down with someone like Chioma, whom they perceived as solely focused on bearing children.
In essence, this critique not only aimed to undermine Chioma’s role as Davido’s partner but also sought to imply that his marital choices were to blame for his professional achievements or lack thereof. Such commentary highlights the pervasive nature of societal expectations and the scrutiny faced by public figures and their loved ones.
