Gayton McKenzie accused of not understanding fashion industry after his meeting with Shein
Fashion designer David Tlale said he doesn’t think Gayton McKenzie understands the complexities of the clothing and textile industry.
The Afrobeats hitmaker and his queen Chioma Rowland tied the knot in what’s now officially one of the most expensive celebrity weddings we’ve seen — a jaw-dropping $3.7 million in cash. Yeah, you read that right. No crypto, no cheques, straight-up hard cash. But it wasn’t just about flexing the bank account — the man made sure it was personal too.
On the day, he rocked custom cufflinks engraved with the image of his late son Ifeanyi, a quiet but powerful move that had the internet talking. From the outside, it was all white-wedding magic — the venue looking like something pulled out of a billionaire’s Pinterest board, champagne flowing like a mini-river, and a guest list that could double as a Forbes cover shoot. We’re talking Adekunle Gold, Teni, Zlatan Ibile, Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote, Osun State’s dancing governor Ademola Adeleke, UFC champ Kamaru Usman, and more. And just when the crowd thought they’d seen it all, D’banj crashed the party with live performances of Fall in Love and Oliver Twist, turning the vibe from “formal vows” to “music festival” in minutes.
Fashion game? Unreal. Davido gifted Chioma a $300K custom Richard Mille watch — because apparently, nothing says “forever” like Swiss mechanics wrapped in diamonds — while rocking a matching one himself. The fits were crisp, the energy was high, and every camera in the room was catching Black-Excellence history in the making. Of course, social media had its say, with some fans saluting the couple’s big-day glow-up and others side-eyeing the price tag.

But let’s be real — Davido’s been telling us in his lyrics that “money dey” and Miami just got the ultimate receipt. This wasn’t just a wedding, it was a flex, a love story, and a legacy moment rolled into one.
