“My Mom Was The First Person In The World To Get A Rare Chanel Bag In 1980s”- Davido

Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, recently opened up about his late mother, Veronica Adeleke, and her impeccable sense of fashion.

During an interview on The Breakfast Club, which aired on April 8, 2025, the singer—who is preparing to launch his fifth studio album titled 5ive—shared a striking memory that highlighted both his mother’s unique style and the affluence of the Adeleke family.

He claimed that his mother might have been the very first person in the world to own a specific Chanel handbag back in the 1980s.

In his own words:

“My mom was probably the first person in the world to get a certain Chanel bag in the 80s.”

This statement served to underscore the long-standing wealth and influence of his family.

Veronica Adeleke, who was a university lecturer, tragically passed away at the age of 39 following a heart attack. Despite her early passing, her legacy clearly lives on through Davido’s memories and music.
