In April, he released 5ive, his fifth studio album, which has seen his With You collaboration with Omah Lay earn a nomination in the Best African Music category for the 68th Grammy Awards.
Davido, Burna Boy and Ayra Starr are leading the 2026 African music nominations.
The 17-track project blends Afropop with R&B, Amapiano, dancehall, and 3-Step, and reflects his personal growth. The album also includes a tribute to his late son.
5ive features a long list of collaborators from Nigeria and abroad. Artists on the album include Chris Brown, Omah Lay, Victoria Monét, Becky G, Shenseea, YG Marley, Alhanislam, Musa Keys, Tayc, Dadju, Odumodublvck, Chike, and Victony.
The album was a major commercial success. It debuted at No. 1 on Spotify’s global chart, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 37, and peaked at No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart.
Davido supported the album with the 5ive Alive World Tour, which took him across North America, Europe, and several Nigerian cities, selling out major venues.
As one of Africa’s most influential musicians, he has released a string of successful projects, including A Good Time (2019), A Better Time (2020), and Timeless (2023).
Davido rose to prominence in 2012 with Dami Duro, the breakout single from his debut album, Omo Baba Olowo.
The 33-year-old singer is also the founder of DMW, the record label he launched in 2016, which has nurtured several prominent music talents.
