Popular Nigerian Afrobeats star, David Adeleke known as Davido has announced a new date for his upcoming fifth album.
The album initially scheduled for release on March 15, 2025, has been moved back to April 18.

Davido was also nominated in 5 categories including the Artist of the Year at the upcoming 17th Headies.
Ahead of the album release, Davido has released two singles ‘Awuke’ featuring Jamaican Dancehall sensation YG Marley and ‘Funds’ featuring Chike and OdumoduBlvck.
