Davido Unveils ‘Oriadé’: Destiny Meets the Crown in New Album
Davido has announced his sixth studio album, Oriadé, set to arrive on 31 July 2026. He introduced it with a cinematic teaser captioned “The kingdom expands. Chosen long before the throne.” Oriadé merges the Yoruba words ori (“destiny”) and adé (“crown”), a nod to his lineage in the Adeleke royal family of Ede, Osun State. The title also echoes one of his own names. The lead single “I Know Who I Be,” produced by Jazzwrld and GL Ceejay, offers a first taste of the album’s direction. Following 2025’s 5ive, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard World Albums chart, this project marks Davido’s next chapter after Coachella and a spot on the FIFA World Cup 2026 soundtrack.
