To be in a position where I can help push African music forward around the world is something I\u2019ll never take for granted. I hope when people hear my new album, they understand that purpose doesn\u2019t always follow the expected path. The biggest blessings often come from betting on yourself, even when the destination isn\u2019t in sight yet.\u201d<\/p>\n Led by \u201cI Know Who I Be,\u201d which dropped on Friday (June 26), ORIAD\u00c9<\/em><\/em> marks the official follow-up to 2025\u2019s 5ive<\/em>. Featuring the Grammy-nominated, Omah Lay-assisted \u201cWith You,\u201d 5ive<\/em> earned Davido his fifth consecutive top five entry on World Albums (No. 2). 5ive<\/em> also featured collaborations with a host of cross-genre stars, including Victoria Mon\u00e9t, YG Marley, Shenseea, Chris Brown and Becky G. With ORIAD\u00c9<\/em>, Davido plans to channel his current era of reflection and gratitude into a project that embodies his journey towards fulfilling his purpose.<\/p>\n The new LP also continues the Nigerian powerhouse\u2019s banner year. In April 11, Davido made his Coachella debut with a colorful, 45-minute set that featured a surprise appearance by Adekunle Gold. After conquering the desert, Davido linked up with Major Lazer and Nelly Furtado for \u201cNo Place Like Home,\u201d which appears on the official FIFA World Cup 2026 soundtrack. They performed the anthemic collaboration at the tournament\u2019s countdown concert in Los Angeles, Calif. on June 10, during which Davido boldly sported a custom jacket featuring the names of abducted students and teachers from Oyo State in Nigeria.<\/p>\n Watch Davido\u2019s official ORIAD\u00c9<\/em> album trailer below.<\/p>\n <\/a> Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
