Cubana Chief Priest Unable to Attend Davido’s Miami White Wedding Due to Repeated US Visa Denials

Lagos, Nigeria – August 9, 2025 – Popular Nigerian socialite and businessman Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has publicly expressed his disappointment over his inability to attend the highly anticipated white wedding of Afrobeat superstar Davido in Miami, USA. The celebrity bar owner cited ongoing challenges with securing a US visa as the reason for his absence from the star-studded event.

In a recent statement shared on his social media platforms, Cubana Chief Priest revealed that his repeated attempts to obtain a US visa have been unsuccessful, effectively barring him from traveling to Miami for the wedding. The event, which is expected to be a lavish celebration of Davido’s union with his wife, Chioma Rowland, has generated significant buzz among fans and celebrities alike.

“I’ve been trying to get my visa sorted out, but it’s been one denial after another,” Cubana Chief Priest lamented in a post. “Davido’s white wedding in Miami is a big deal, and it pains me that I won’t be there to celebrate with my brother. But I wish him and Chioma all the happiness in the world.”

Cubana Chief Priest, known for his close ties with Davido and his vibrant presence in Nigeria’s entertainment and nightlife scenes, did not disclose specific reasons for the visa denials. However, visa application challenges are not uncommon for Nigerians seeking to travel to the United States, with many citing stringent requirements and lengthy processes as major hurdles.

Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, has not yet publicly commented on Cubana Chief Priest’s situation, but sources close to the singer indicate that preparations for the Miami wedding are in full swing. The event is expected to draw a host of international and Nigerian celebrities, making Cubana Chief Priest’s absence particularly notable given his prominence in Davido’s inner circle.

Fans have taken to social media to express their sympathy for Cubana Chief Priest, with many urging the US Embassy to reconsider his application. Others have praised his candidness, noting that his openness sheds light on the broader challenges Nigerians face when applying for international visas.

As the wedding date approaches, Cubana Chief Priest remains optimistic, vowing to celebrate Davido and Chioma’s union from afar. “I’ll be there in spirit, and we’ll turn up for them when they’re back in Nigeria,” he added in his statement.

The situation highlights the complexities of international travel for Nigerian celebrities, even those with significant influence and resources. For now, Cubana Chief Priest’s fans and followers await updates on whether he’ll find a way to join the festivities or continue to support his friend from a distance.
