‘No afrobeats without me’, says singer Davido

Nigerian music sensation Davido Adeleke has boldly asserted his significant influence on the Afrobeats genre.

In a recent Instagram post, the American-born artist emphasized that his name is integral to any conversation about Afrobeats.

This statement is part of his ongoing promotion for his upcoming fifth studio album, 5IVE, set for release in March 2025.

Davido, who has played a pivotal role in globalizing Afrobeats, also unveiled the music video for his latest hit, “Funds,” which is already gaining traction online.

With his continued success and influence, Davido remains a key figure in the global music scene.

“Afrobeats can’t be brought up without my name. Impossible. The genre-defying pioneer has brought his sound to the attention of millions, and with his new album ‘5ive’ coming March 2025, he truly has the world at his feet.” Davido wrote.
