Davido drops 5ive album featuring Chris Brown, Becky G, Victoria Monét and more global collaborators

Davido has released his fifth studio album, 5ive, via Davido Music Worldwide, RCA Records, and Sony Music UK. The 17-track project, out April 18, features global collaborations and marks a major milestone for the Afrobeats star.

The album includes previously released singles like “Awuke” featuring YG Marley, “Funds” with Odumodublvck and Chike, and “Be There Still.” Collaborators on other tracks include Victoria Monét (“Offa Me”), Becky G (“Tek”), Chris Brown (“Titanium”), and Shenseea and 450 (“R&B”). Additional appearances come from Musa Keys, Victony, Tayc, Dadju, and Omah Lay.

In a statement, Davido described the album as deeply personal and reflective of his artistic evolution. “This 5ive album? Man, it means everything to me. It’s more than just a number — it’s a statement of where I stand, five albums in,” he said. “Getting to work with artists that I love and respect from all over the world on this project was a blessing. Different sounds, different cultures, but one vibe! This one right here shows my growth, my journey and where I am now in my life and my artistry.”

The release follows Davido’s 2023 album Timeless, which peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s World Albums chart and No. 37 on the Billboard 200. That project earned a Grammy nomination for best global music album, while its single “Unavailable” featuring Musa Keys hit No. 3 on the U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart. Davido received another nomination this year for “Sensational” with Chris Brown and Lojay, which marked both artists’ Billboard Hot 100 debuts.
