In other news, Davido continues to solidify his status as one of Nigeria’s biggest music exports, as his forthcoming album, 5ive, has already claimed the top spot on Apple Music Nigeria’s Top Albums chart.
This remarkable feat comes even before the project’s official release, making Davido the second artist, alongside Mayorkun, to achieve a No. 1 ranking with an unreleased album.
Scheduled to drop on April 18, 2025, 5ive marks Davido’s fifth studio album, following the massive success of Timeless in 2023. The project is expected to be a fusion of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Dancehall, with an impressive lineup of guest appearances from YG Marley, Odumodublvck, and Chike.
