Davido Opens Up About Upcoming Album 5ive: A Journey of Change, Growth, and Hope

In an exclusive interview with MixMag, Nigerian music powerhouse Davido has unveiled details about his highly anticipated album 5ive. With a career marked by chart-topping hits and global acclaim, the Afrobeats star is gearing up to deliver what he promises will be another timeless addition to his musical legacy.
“I’ve just always loved delivering a good body of work and good music,” Davido shared, emphasizing his enduring passion for creating albums that not only entertain but also leave a lasting impact. According to him, 5ive is set to continue that tradition.
“It’s definitely going to be another one of those classic Davido albums,” he said with confidence, assuring fans that they can expect the same energy, creativity, and authenticity that have defined his sound over the years.
The album’s title, 5ive, is more than just a number — it’s a personal statement. Davido revealed that the project marks his fifth studio album, a significant milestone in a career that has evolved alongside his personal life.
