Davido Gifted Chioma a $300K Watch and a $950K Ring at Their Miami Wedding

Davido and Chioma’s Miami wedding already had the glitter of a thousand flashbulbs — designer gowns, an ocean breeze, and a guest list dripping in star power. But just when you thought the romance couldn’t possibly sparkle more, Davido dropped a surprise that could light up the Florida coastline. Mid-reception, in struts celebrity jeweller Benny Da Jeweler — the man behind some of the most jaw-dropping timepieces and bling in celebrity history — holding a little box with a very big secret: a $300K+ Richard Mille watch for Chioma. The bride’s reaction? Pure joy. Ours? Somewhere between a gasp and Googling “how to marry a Davido.” And just because one gasp-worthy gift clearly wasn’t enough, Benny also revealed he was the mastermind behind Chioma’s wedding ring: a 10-carat, GIA-certified, F-colour oval diamond worth a casual $950K. Yes, nearly a million dollars sparkling on her finger. Weddings are supposed to be about love and commitment… but if yours also includes luxury jewellery with a postcode-sized price tag? Well, we won’t say no.

Davido & Chioma’s Miami Wedding: Where Love Met Star Power (and a Lot of Glam)

If Miami felt a little brighter over the weekend, you can thank Davido and Chioma — and their star-studded guest list. The couple’s white wedding was more than just a ceremony; it was a blockbuster event draped in love, luxury, and looks that could headline Fashion Week. And when one of Afrobeats’ biggest icons says “I do”, you don’t just RSVP — you pack your best outfit and prepare to outshine the Miami sun. The roll call read like an all-access pass to Nigeria’s entertainment elite: Adekunle Gold serving effortless cool, Obi Cubana and wife Lush Eby bringing billionaire polish, D’banj and his wife reminding us what power-couple energy looks like, celebrity stylist Medlin Boss delivering head-turning glam, and Davido’s cousin B-Red keeping it sharp. Every guest brought their own signature flair — a cocktail of elegance, personality, and just the right amount of “I’m here to be seen.” But beyond the outfits, it was the pure joy, laughter, and love in the air that made the night one for the books. Scroll on to see how they turned Davido & Chioma’s Miami wedding into a fashion-meets-music celebration we’ll be talking about for years.

The Pirelli 2026 Calendar Is Serving Emotions, Icons, and a Bit of Norfolk Magic

The Pirelli Calendar has a bit of a reputation — the kind where you think, surely they can’t top last year? And then, somehow, they do. 2025’s edition gave us everyone from Hunter Schafer to John Boyega, but the 2026 lineup? It’s basically an art-world mic drop. We’re talking FKA twigs, Tilda Swinton, Venus Williams, Irina Shayk — the kind of guest list that makes red carpets jealous. The person behind the lens? Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø, who’s whisked this A-list cast to a dreamy mix of Norfolk, Essex, and New York City. (Yes, that’s the same Norfolk where you might see a windmill on your morning dog walk — only here it’s paired with couture and cosmic lighting.) Sundsbø’s moodboard reads like the opening chapter of a very stylish philosophy book: longing for freedom, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, mystery, imagination, passion, emancipation, our connection to nature, and our wibbly-wobbly relationship with time and space. In other words, big themes — but rendered in that glossy, cinematic Pirelli way. From sneak peeks behind the scenes, expect sweeping landscapes, otherworldly light, and the sort of portraits that could hang in a gallery or on your Pinterest board. The official release is still under wraps, but consider this your friendly nudge to make space on your moodboard — 2026’s Pirelli calendar is shaping up to be an icon.

Fragments of the Unseen: A Resonant Conclusion

Samson Oriyomi Yusuf’s solo exhibition The Quiet Between Shadows has officially concluded after a compelling seven-day run at Quintessence Gallery in Lagos, from September 12 to 19, 2022. Throughout the week, the exhibition drew collectors, artists, curators, and art lovers who came not only to view the work, but to experience it. Each portrait carried a quiet force an invitation to pause, to look longer, and to sit with the emotions held within the faces on the canvas. The body of work explored stillness with striking clarity. Through carefully controlled lighting and restrained composition, Yusuf allowed shadow and light to shape the emotional presence of each subject. Faces emerged softly from darkness, holding expressions that felt both intimate and powerful. Rather than presenting spectacle, the works offered moments of reflection quiet encounters that stayed with viewers long after they stepped away. Visitors spoke of the deep emotional weight within the paintings. Many described the exhibition as personal and contemplative, noting how the subtle gestures, calm expressions, and deliberate use of shadow created a sense of quiet connection. Several guests returned more than once during the week, drawn back by the reflective atmosphere the works created. Conversations around the exhibition often centered on vulnerability, inner awareness, and the quiet strength found in stillness. The strong turnout and growing interest from collectors marked the exhibition as an important moment in Yusuf’s evolving artistic journey. As The Quiet Between Shadows comes to a close, its resonance remains. The exhibition reaffirmed Samson Oriyomi Yusuf’s commitment to portraiture that goes beyond appearance work rooted in depth, honesty, and emotional truth.
