A video showing the interaction between music star Davido’s wife, Chioma Adeleke, popularly known as Chef Chi, and her billionaire father-in-law, Deji Adeleke, has gone viral online.

Family Moment Captured on Video
The video shows Davido and Chioma arriving at what appeared to be a family event.
Chioma approached her father-in-law, who was seated, and exchanged pleasantries.

Many viewers described the moment as heartwarming and praised the cordiality displayed.
Netizens Criticize Chioma’s Greeting Style
Despite the seemingly normal interaction, some netizens criticized Chioma for not kneeling while greeting Deji Adeleke.
The criticism stemmed from cultural expectations where younger family members traditionally show respect to elders in such a manner.
Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
Reactions online were divided. While some argued that Chioma’s greeting was perfectly acceptable, others insisted she should have greeted in a more traditional way.

@yorubaideology said: “That’s what happens when you marry Ibo girls. Can a mannerless woman raise a well mannered children? No. The kids will grow up and be like Gbadebo Chinedu who only identifies with Yoruba by name and not thoughts, ideology, character, language or anything whatsoever.”

@AccountingZest said: “Kneeling down is a Yoruba way of showing respect, in Igbo we don’t do that. It’s that simple… Still doesn’t mean she’s not respectful!
