Davido Delays Fifth Album Release, Drops New Single to Keep Fans Excited

‘5ive’ Pushed to April 18, 2025, as Afrobeats Star Teases Heartfelt Project and Star-Studded Collaborations

Nigerian music sensation Davido has announced a delay in the release of his highly anticipated fifth studio album, ‘5ive.’ Originally slated to drop on March 15, 2025, the album will now hit the shelves on April 18, 2025. While the Afrobeats star did not provide a specific reason for the postponement, fans remain eager for what promises to be a deeply personal and impactful project.

Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, described the upcoming album as “straight from the heart” in a social media post. “THE JOURNEY CONTINUES in 2025 with my new album, 5IVE!! This one is my story, my truth, my growth,” he wrote. To tide fans over, he also released a new single, ‘Funds,’ featuring Nigerian artists OdumoduBlvck and Chike. The track, which dropped at midnight following the announcement, is dedicated to “the dreamers, the go-getters, and everyone chasing what’s theirs.”

The delay comes amid a whirlwind year for Davido, who has already made significant strides in 2025. He earned his fifth Grammy nomination at the 67th Grammy Awards for Best African Song Performance, thanks to his feature on Chris Brown’s hit ‘Sensational.’ Additionally, he is nominated in five categories at the upcoming 17th Headies, including the prestigious Artiste of the Year award.

‘5ive’ is shaping up to be a star-studded affair, with collaborations already generating buzz. Nigerian superstar Omah Lay recently revealed that his contribution to the album is a “perfect partnership,” while Adekunle Gold has teased a possible guest appearance. Davido has also released another single, ‘Awuke,’ featuring Jamaican Dancehall artist YG Marley, further building anticipation for the album.

The project follows Davido’s record-breaking fourth album, ‘Timeless,’ which solidified his status as one of Africa’s biggest music exports. With ‘5ive,’ the singer aims to continue his legacy of delivering chart-topping hits while sharing his personal journey and growth with fans worldwide.

As the countdown to April 18 begins, Davido’s supporters are eagerly awaiting what promises to be another historic chapter in his illustrious career. Pre-orders for the album are already live, and if the early singles are any indication, ‘5ive’ is set to be worth the wait.
