Nigerian Afrobeat superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is set to  release his highly anticipated fifth studio album titled “5ive” in March.

The music star, who  took to his social media platforms to announce the dropping of the album in March to his fans and music lovers, also hinted  at the album’s thematic richness and creative depth.

The singer promised his fans that he would continue with his legacy of producing chart-topping hits while exploring fresh musical directions.

“Afrobeats can’t be brought up without my name. Impossible,” he said.

The genre-defying pioneer has brought his sound to the attention of millions, and with his new album ‘5ive’ coming in March, he truly has “the world at his feet,” he wrote.

According to the singer, afrobeat cannot be brought up without his name, as he  expressed his excitement over the project.
