Davido’s Wedding Broke The Internet Because He Is A Celebrity With Wealth – Reno Omokri

Ex-Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has come out to write on why Davido and Chioma’s wedding shut down Nigeria and broke the internet. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, celebrities have been getting married before but Nigerians have not seen the kind of effect Davido and Chioma’s wedding had, and it is all because of the huge amount of wealth involved.

Reno added that celebrity status is one thing, being celebrated and elevated financially is another.

His words, “Davido’s traditional wedding to Chioma yesterday offers us a teachable moment to understand the difference between wealth and celebrity. Why did the wedding shut down Nigeria and break the Internet? I don’t want to offend people, but celebrities have been getting married before today, and we have never seen such an effect. The key difference this time around is wealth. When you have celebrity status, you will be celebrated but not necessarily elevated. But when you have celebrity and wealth, you will be celebrated and elevated. So the moral of the story is this: Focus on making money, not just on being a celebrity. Because, when you have serious money, you are automatically a celebrity, but you do not automatically have serious money just because you are a celebrity. I hope you get the drift?”

WOW.
