Davido’s 5ive makes history with No. 1 debut on UK spotify

Davido has achieved another milestone in his career. His fifth studio album, *5ive*, debuted at No. 1 on the UK Spotify album chart.

This success adds to the Nigerian megastar's impressive list of global achievements. It solidifies his status in the international music scene.

Released on April 18, 2025, *5ive* made a big impact in Nigeria. It had the second-highest opening week for any album on Spotify Nigeria. Now, its success in the UK shows Davido's growing global appeal.

One highlight of the album is the track "Offa Me." This song features American R&B star Victoria Monét, a three-time Grammy winner. Their collaboration blends Monét’s smooth voice with Davido’s Afrobeats style.

The music video for "Offa Me" was released soon after the album launch. It has generated excitement and turned the song into an instant favorite.

Davido also reflected on a surprising moment that changed his music journey. It all began with a FaceTime call.

In a podcast, he shared how he first met American singer Chris Brown through a mutual friend from Nigeria.

“I got a FaceTime call from one of Chris Brown’s friends,” Davido said. “While we were talking, he asked if the song playing was mine.”

What happened next surprised him greatly.

“I said yes… then he tilted the phone, and I saw Chris Brown dancing to my song!”

That spontaneous moment led to a real connection between them. Davido mentioned they spoke briefly during that call and later visited the U.S. to meet Breezy in person.
