Lati Biola: Here's To Know About Davido's Bestman | Fab.ng

Forget the rumours you’ve seen online – Lati Biola isn’t actually Davido’s bodyguard. Here’s the real scoop: Afrobeats superstar Davido is getting married! He’s tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend Chioma today, Tuesday, June 25th, 2024. It’s going to be a huge celebration.

Who will be standing by Davido’s side on his big day? Fans are eager for all the details, and recently Davido himself revealed on social media that his best man will be his childhood friend Lateef “Lati” Biola.

LATI https://t.co/fKCHPChcW7

— Davido (@davido) June 22, 2024

So who is Lati? Keep reading to find out more about Davido’s best man!

Lati actually knew Davido since he was just 10 years old.

Lati’s life took a turn when his parents passed away. He found himself working for the Adeleke family, which is where he first met Davido.

“I have known you since you were 10 years old. That was when I lost both my parents. You are always there for me like a brother and you have never turned your back against me,” Lati wrote in an Instagram post.

Back in the day, Lati pierced Davido’s ears.

Talk about friendship! In a recent interview with popular American jeweler Icebox, Davido spilled the beans. He said his best man Lati is the one who gave him his ear piercings way back when they were teenagers.

According to Davido, “Lati pierced my ears when I was like 14 years old.”

Lati Biola actually made the first move for Davido when he saw Chioma.

Love at first sight? Maybe not quite! But Davido knew something special was there when he saw Chioma on campus at Babcock University. Back then, they were both students. Davido asked his trusty friend Lati to break the ice and call Chioma.

“I was in school for a year before I blew up. That was when I met my wife. I remember the day I saw her. I can never forget it. I was in a Prado, and I looked behind and I saw this girl walking. Just there with her bag, it was Chioma. I told Lati, ‘Omo, I like that girl. Go and call that girl for me.’ He called her but she did not answer me at the time,” Davido said during an interview with YouTuber, Tayo Aina.

Lati was the one who slapped a Davido fan in February 2024

There might be a video you remember from February this year. A Davido fan was trying to take a picture with him, but things got heated. One of the people with Davido, his friend Lati, ended up slapping the fan.

Thankfully, it seems things were smoothed over. Reports say Lati reached out to the fan to apologize and even offered them ₦200,000 to make things right.

Lati Biola holds a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication.

Lati isn’t just Davido’s best man, he’s also a well-educated guy. Back in 2002, he graduated from Lagos State University with a degree in Mass Communication.

Lati isn’t actually Davido’s bouncer.

Forget the rumors about Lati being Davido’s bodyguard. Lati actually works behind the scenes in the music industry. He has a role in A&R (Artists and Repertoire) for Davido’s record label, DMW. This means he helps find and develop new talent for the label.

Lati’s got his own thing going on too! He runs his own company in Lagos. Additionally, Lati is also the director of Latino General Merchants Nigeria Limited, an oil and gas company.

Lati Biola was born in the month of June.

Davido’s wedding day just got even more special for his best man Lati. Lati’s birthday is June 25th, which also happens to be the day Davido will be saying “I do” to Chioma. It will be a birthday Lati won’t forget.
