Album Announcement and Singles
Davido first teased 'ORIADÉ' on June 29, 2026, via social media, sharing a video of himself in regal Yoruba attire accompanied by a eulogy in the Yoruba language. He captioned the post: “The kingdom expands. Chosen long before the throne.” The album’s lead single, 'I Know Who I Be', featuring JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay, reflects on Davido’s 15-year career, with a music video shot at his childhood home and cameos from longtime collaborators. The second single, 'Gimme Dat Ting' with NO11, blends Afrobeats and Amapiano, celebrating ambition and success.
New Direction and World Tour
In an interview with American platform Notion, Davido explained that 'ORIADÉ' offers something for every listener with its 13 tracks, a deliberate shift from his usual 17-song albums. The shorter length signals a new chapter in his career. Following the album’s release, Davido plans to embark on a world tour, similar to his previous 5IVE tour that made historic stops in five Nigerian cities.
