In the world of Nigerian entertainment and high society, few relationships are as celebrated as the bond between popular businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest, and superstar singer Davido. Often seen together at glamorous events and parties, the duo shares a connection that transcends the glitz and glamor, as Cubana Chief Priest recently revealed in an interview with BBC Igbo.
“Davido is my friend. He is my in-law; he married Chioma, who is from Imo State where I hail from. So the relationship I have with Davido is beyond money and gossip,” Chief Priest stated, emphasizing the depth of their bond.
This statement offers a glimpse into the personal side of a friendship often seen through the lens of fame and fortune. While many may perceive their connection as purely business-related or driven by mutual benefits, Cubana Chief Priest’s words paint a different picture. For him, the relationship is rooted in family ties and shared values that go beyond the superficial aspects often associated with celebrity friendships.
Cubana Chief Priest’s admiration for Davido is evident not just in his words but in his actions. Recently, he took to Instagram to share a glimpse of the lavish outfit he wore to Davido and Chioma’s wedding in Lagos, revealing that it cost a staggering seven million Naira. This extravagant gesture is not just a display of wealth but a symbol of the respect and pride he holds for the union between Davido and Chioma.
The socialite has also publicly expressed his appreciation for Davido’s commitment to Chioma, particularly in light of the challenges they have faced together. He praised the singer for not “discarding” Chioma, a sentiment that reflects the strong cultural and familial ties that are deeply valued in Igbo culture. For Cubana Chief Priest, Davido’s choice to marry from Imo State is a source of pride, not just for him personally, but for the entire community.
This relationship, anchored in shared heritage and mutual respect, stands as a testament to the power of genuine connections in a world often overshadowed by materialism and public perception. Cubana Chief Priest and Davido’s bond is a reminder that, beyond the headlines and social media posts, true friendships are built on loyalty, trust, and an understanding that goes far deeper than what meets the eye.
As these two influential figures continue to make waves in their respective fields, their relationship remains a shining example of how powerful connections can be when they are rooted in something more substantial than wealth or fame. For Cubana Chief Priest, Davido is not just a friend or a business associate; he is family.
