Highlights from Chioma Rowland {Chef Chi} 30th Birthday Party  

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.

Her Look? 10/10.

Chef Chi stunned in a silver sparkling mini dress with a beaded bodice and a peacock-blue feathered hem. It was glamorous, fun, and perfect for the occasion. She paired the look with silver heels and statement earrings, keeping it elegant and fresh.

Davido stayed close by her side, clearly proud of the moment he had planned to perfection.

The Gifts & Big Moments

First came the cake, a tall, white tiered masterpiece rolled out while everyone sang “Happy Birthday.”

Then came the headline moment: Davido gifted Chioma a brand-new black Mercedes-Benz G63 SUV, yes, a G-Wagon, right there at the venue. To top it off, he added a sparkling tennis bracelet as a second surprise. The reactions? Screams, camera flashes, and jaws on the floor. Online, fans were already calling it “birthday goals.”

Music, Love, and Real Emotion

The night wasn’t just about luxury, though. There were heartfelt moments too.

Davido gave a touching speech, saying, “We’ve been through a lot together, but it all turned to joy.” He went on to describe Chioma as his strength, his life, and his wisdom, adding that “if she’s not happy, I’m not happy.” It was raw, emotional, and the room felt it.

One of the surprise performances of the night came from Smash (of Bracket), who sang the iconic hit “Yori Yori.” The crowd joined in with loud voices and bigger smiles, it was a throwback moment, but also a celebration of enduring love.

The Fashion Scene

The guests didn’t come to play either. The men mostly wore classic black tuxedos and suits, with a few spicing things up with velvet blazers or agbada. Davido himself wore two outfits, one of them a clean navy-blue dinner jacket that had fans online dropping fire emojis.

The ladies? Stunning. Gowns in gold, emerald green, and silver lit up the room. Hair and makeup were on point,  from sleek buns to braided styles and bold accessories. It was elegant, without doing too much.

The Online Buzz

Nigerians on social media didn’t miss a beat. Videos from the event trended across Instagram and X, with fans dropping comments like:

“Happy birthday our First Lady!”

“My favorite classy queen.”

“I just dey smile watching this love.”

Chef Chi’s 30th wasn’t about a crowd or a concert-level production. It was about intentional love, thoughtful surprises, and celebrating a woman who’s been through a lot and comes out glowing. From the gifts to the speech and the fashion, the night ticked all the boxes.

One thing is clear: Davido did not come to play. And Chioma? She walked into 30 looking happy, loved, and absolutely radiant.
