    Nigerian music superstar Davido continues to dominate the music scene, closing 2024 with the release of his latest single, Funds, featuring Chike and Odumodublvck.

    The track not only showcases Davido’s signature energy but also highlights the collaborative synergy with Chike’s smooth vocals and Odumodublvck’s charismatic flows.

    Funds has made an immediate impact, setting a new record for the highest streaming week for a song across all platforms in Nigeria.

    The track amassed an impressive 7.38 million streams in its opening week, surpassing the previous record of 7.29 million streams set by Asake’s MMS featuring Wizkid.

    This achievement marks Davido’s third appearance in the top five highest streaming opening weeks in Nigeria for 2024, alongside Ogechi remix with Boy Pee, Hyce, and Brown Joel, and Kizz Daniel’s Twe Twe remix.

    The highlife-inspired Funds delivers a vibrant and uplifting sound, seamlessly blending traditional Nigerian elements with contemporary production. Its widespread appeal propelled it to the top of the TurnTable Top 100, making it Davido’s fourth #1 hit of 2024, following Twe Twe remix, Ogechi remix, and Awuke featuring YG Marley.

    Beyond its streaming milestones, Funds reinforces Davido’s status as one of Nigeria’s leading music icons, consistently pushing the boundaries of Afrobeats on the global stage.

    This record-breaking single is the second release from Davido’s forthcoming fifth studio album, Five, set to drop on March 14, 2025. With anticipation for the album already at a fever pitch, Funds serves as a strong indicator of what fans can expect from the superstar’s next chapter.
