Popular Nigerian nightlife promoter, Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has expressed deep disappointment over missing the white wedding of Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke (Davido), and his wife, Chioma Rowland, in Miami, USA.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, the Imo-born businessman revealed that visa challenges prevented him from attending the glamorous event, despite being one of Davido’s closest friends.
“I woke up this morning with mixed feelings. I’m happy and I’m still sad at the same time,” he wrote. “Sometimes God has a way of making you understand that you are powerless regardless of all you may think you have.”
Cubana Chief Priest also addressed online criticism regarding his absence, stating that the comments have motivated him to reapply for a US visa.
“I appreciate the bashing because that has given me multiple reasons and proof to apply again. @usinnigeria, do it for me this time,” he pleaded. “You can clearly see how disappointed and hurt the world is to see me absent at my best friend’s wedding. You need to give me access to get my fat ass into America.”

Despite being physically absent, Chief Priest stressed that his support for the couple remains unwavering.
“Well, delay is never denial. CP is still hopeful. I’m wishing my best friend @davido and his beautiful wife @thechefchi an amazing wedlock,” he wrote. He also noted that his wife, De Angels, was present at the wedding to represent him.
“The largest part of me, which is my family—my beautiful, elegant, expensive, eloquent, and sophisticated wife @deangels—is there to share in this luxurious, blissful experience, so I’m there in body and spirit,” he added.
He ended his post with another appeal to the US Embassy: “@usinnigeria I’m in again next week. Please give me access to the greatest country in the world. This pain is really paining.”
The Miami wedding, which followed the couple’s traditional ceremony in Lagos in June 2024, has been a major talking point on social media, with celebrities such as Teni, Adekunle Gold, and Zlatan Ibile among the guests.
