Davido Unboxes Luxury Hermès Bag Gifted by Wife Chioma on His 33rd Birthday
Davido’s 33rd Birthday: Inside the Viral Moment He Unboxed a Hermès Bag from Wife Chioma
One of the sweetest — and most talked-about — moments from Davido’s 33rd birthday celebration was the short clip that flooded timelines: the Afrobeats superstar carefully opening an orange Hermès box given to him by his wife, Chioma Adeleke (Chef Chi), and smiling with visible delight. The brief video captured a private-feeling exchange that quickly became public spectacle. 0
The video: what we saw
In the clip — which Davido shared on his Instagram account and which has been reposted across platforms — the singer unwraps an orange Hermès box, lifts the tissue, and reveals what onlookers identified as a Hermès HAC (Haut à Courroies) bag. He thanks Chioma in the caption, writing “Iyawo mi” (my wife), and fans immediately began calling the moment iconic. 1
Which Hermès model was it, and how much is it worth?
Several entertainment outlets and fan pages named the model as the Hermès HAC Haut à Courroies — a rare, highly collectible piece in the Hermès lineup. While exact pricing for Hermès pieces varies by finish, customization and rarity, the bag posted in the clip was widely estimated by media and social commentators to be in the tens of thousands of dollars range (estimates reported in coverage put the value around $28,000–$30,000, with some local reports converting that into tens of millions of naira). Keep in mind Hermès prices fluctuate and some special-order or vintage models can be far pricier. 2
Why the moment resonated
The clip struck a chord for three main reasons: first, it’s a celebrity-unboxing that felt genuine — Davido’s reaction looked sincere, not staged. Second, the gift flips the usual celebrity-gift narrative (the star gifting an expensive vehicle or jewelry to their partner) and shows a spouse gifting a high-value luxury item to the artist. Third, the exchange came with warm captions from both Davido and Chioma, offering fans a peek into their relationship dynamic beyond the spotlight. Media outlets framed the moment as a heartwarming personal interaction rather than mere flexing. 3

Public reaction: praise, memes and conversations about wealth
As expected, the internet reacted. Fans showered the couple with congratulatory messages and playful memes. Some praised Chioma for her thoughtfulness; others used the clip to riff on celebrity wealth and gifting culture. A few commentators raised the usual questions about conspicuous consumption and what public displays of luxury mean in a country where many are struggling — a conversation that repeats whenever high-value celebrity gifts appear on social media. Coverage of the clip included compilation posts, reaction videos and reposts across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. 5
Small context on Davido & Chioma’s public gifting history
This exchange wasn’t a one-off. Over the years Davido and Chioma have swapped extravagant presents in public view: the singer previously surprised Chioma with a 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 EQ SUV, and the couple’s wedding and celebration moments featured high-value pieces that often make headlines. Fans see these gestures as part of the couple’s public narrative — a mix of romance, celebration and celebrity lifestyle. 6
Is the clip definitive “proof” of the bag’s model and price?
Short answer: the video shows the unboxing, and media outlets reporting on the clip have identified the bag model and provided price estimates — but without an official Hermès invoice released publicly, precise retail data (and any customizations) remain unconfirmed. Reporting relies on the visual evidence in the clip and experience-based estimates from fashion commentators. That’s standard practice for viral luxury-item stories. 7
Where to watch the clip
The unboxing was posted to Davido’s Instagram and has been reshared on multiple pages, including entertainment blogs and social accounts. If you want to see the moment yourself, look up Davido’s official Instagram reel from November 21–23, 2025 or check the reposts on major entertainment pages. 8
What this says about celebrity culture in 2025
Viral moments like this are shorthand for our relationship with fame: they humanize stars (a simple gift exchange), fuel aspirational fantasies (luxury items as status symbols), and spark debates about value and priorities. For fans, the exchange is joyful and fodder for conversation. For observers, it’s another example of how quickly private moments become public moments in the age of social media. 9
