When I spoke to her, she’s shifting towards 10 kilo – Davido reveals Chioma’s favourite track from 5ive

Afrobeats has become a global phenomenon. At the forefront of this movement is Davido. His influence reaches far beyond Africa.

Davido's unique sound and charisma have shaped Afrobeats. He is one of the most celebrated musicians of his generation.

His journey began with his debut album, Omo Baba Olowo, in 2012. This album introduced his blend of Afrobeats, hip-hop, and Nigerian pop. Tracks like Dami Duro quickly became hits across Africa.

In 2016, he released The Baddest. This project solidified his status in Afrobeats. Anthems like If and FIA expanded his fanbase even further.

However, it was A Good Time in 2019 that launched him internationally. Collaborations with stars like Chris Brown and Gunna opened new doors for Afrobeats. Songs like Fall and Blow My Mind achieved massive success worldwide.

Now, Davido has released 5ive in 2025. The album features 17 tracks and collaborations with Grammy winners like Victoria Monét and Chris Brown. This marks another significant milestone in his career.

Upon release, 5ive debuted at number 2 on the World Albums chart. It secured 7,000 equivalent album units in its first week. This showcases Davido’s growing global influence.

But 5ive is more than just music; it reflects Davido's personal life too. His wife, Chioma, played a crucial role during its creation. She provided emotional support and motivation throughout the recording process.

In a recent interview, Davido expressed gratitude for Chioma's presence. He acknowledged her energy during long studio hours. “Shoutout to Chioma,” he said about her impact on his creative work.
