Davido has officially set the stage for his next musical chapter, confirming both the title and release date of his upcoming single.
The Afrobeats superstar announced that the new track, titled “I Know Who I Be,” will arrive on Friday, June 26, 2026, marking what already feels like the beginning of a fresh era in his rollout strategy and creative direction.

He made the reveal via social media, pairing the announcement with a message that instantly sparked excitement among fans and hinted at a larger narrative unfolding:
“The journey to the throne begins. 👑 My next single I Know Who I Be releases Friday June 26th 2026.”
The statement alone has already set the tone for what listeners expect to be a more assertive, statement-driven phase in his career, especially coming off his recent project, 5ive.
The timing suggests this new release may serve as the first major signal of his next musical direction.
On the collaboration front, “I Know Who I Be” brings together Davido and two South African talents, Jazzwrld and GL Ceejay, continuing his trend of cross-border synergy between West and Southern African sounds.
While full details about the song’s sound and production are still under wraps, anticipation is already building around how the trio’s styles will connect.
Davido’s Afrobeats energy combined with the South African influence from his collaborators sets the expectation for a record that could travel widely across the continent and beyond.
With the release date now locked in, attention naturally shifts to June 26, where fans will finally get to see what “the journey to the throne” truly sounds like in full.
