Nigerian event expert Funke Bucknor-Obruthe has denied publicly dragging Davido for failing to pay a $50,000 wedding-planning cost.
Zapphaire Events’ CEO is Bucknor-Obruthe. The company handled the logistics of Davido and Chioma’s white wedding in Miami, Florida, in August 2025, following their traditional wedding in June 2024.
In recent days, reports of Bucknor-Obruthe calling out Davido for unpaid services for planning the wedding began circulating online.
The rumors included alleged quotes from the event planner threatening legal action if the balance for her service was not paid within three days.
Reacting to the reports in her Instagram story, Bucknor-Obruthe dismissed the circulating reports as “totally false and misleading”, adding that the quotes did not originate from her official Instagram account.
“This is my official Instagram handle, I’m seeing a false narrative flying around about Davido that I purportedly posted. All posts online, on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram are totally false and misleading,” the post reads.
Davido also reacted to the saga surrounding the unpaid wedding-planning fee. The singer described the allegations as “crazy”.
