The 17-track project is a testament to Davido’s global reach and musical versatility, featuring a carefully curated blend of Nigerian and international talent.

Homegrown heavyweights like Omah Lay, Victony, OdumoduBlvck, and Chike bring their unique energy, with Chike joining Davido on the fan-favorite track Fund.

On the global front, 5ive features standout appearances from Jamaican rising star YG Marley, who sets the tone with the lead single Awuke, alongside Caribbean hitmakers Shenseea and 450.

American R&B sensation Chris Brown, a frequent collaborator, returns for yet another cross-continental fusion, while Victoria Monét, a three-time Grammy winner, and Latin pop icon Becky G add their magic to the mix.

South Africa’s Musa Keys, who helped power the Grammy-nominated single Unavailable from Davido’s previous album Timeless, also makes a return.

Meanwhile, French hitmakers Dadju and Tayc round out a globe-spanning guest list that reflects Davido’s evolution into a true international icon.

Following the massive success of his fourth album, Timeless, which shattered streaming records across platforms, 5ive aims to surpass those milestones and redefine the boundaries of Afrobeats.

In the lead-up to the album, Davido dropped three electrifying singles:

• “Awuke,” a reggae-laced anthem featuring YG Marley,
• “Funds,” a pulsating collaboration with Chike and Odumodublvck,
• and “Be There Still,” a rhythmic, Amapiano-inspired track that seamlessly weaves Pidgin and English.

5ive is more than an album—it’s a cultural moment. It’s a powerful testament to Davido’s growth, artistic maturity, and unwavering influence on the global music scene.

With this release, he continues to push boundaries, blend genres, and tell deeply personal stories through music.
