If you ever doubted that Davido is a romantic, think again. Chioma “Chef Chi” Rowland clocked 30 on April 30th, and her husband pulled off the ultimate surprise party in Atlanta, and let’s just say, it was giving luxury, love, and Lagos vibes in one room.

 

Chioma Avril Rowland, celebrated her 30th birthday in style, and not just any style. Her husband, Afrobeats superstar Davido, planned a full-blown surprise party that was intimate, elegant, and full of heart.

 

Held at a private venue, the event brought together close friends and family in what can best be described as a Nigerian-style lounge party, in the heart of the U.S.

 

The Surprise Setup

 

Chioma walked into the venue with absolutely no idea what was coming. The space was lit with soft pink and purple lights, flowers everywhere, and a plush pink-themed photo area with a glowing neon sign of her name, “Chioma.” The vibe was classy but very relaxed, giving that “soft life” energy Nigerians love to see.

 

Afropop music played gently in the background while guests mingled, waiting for the birthday girl. When she finally stepped in, the energy shifted, cheers, hugs, and “awws” filled the room.

The day my life changed forever. Because as special as every birthday has been, this one feels different. This year, I celebrate as a mother,” she wrote.

She did not stop there. “There is no role I have ever played that has humbled me, stretched me, challenged me, or filled my heart quite like this one. These past weeks have been some of the most beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting, and rewarding of my life.”

She called her son “the cutest boy with the sweetest dimples” and said getting to know him has been “the greatest gift.” She also admitted motherhood gave her a new respect for every woman raising a child. “The newborn phase is no joke, and I definitely didn’t fully understand what was waiting for me. But even on the hardest days, I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything.”
