Nigerian singer Davido announced on December 5 that his fifth upcoming studio album, “5ive,” would be released in 2025.
“This one is straight from the heart – my story, my truth, my growth,” said the global Afrobeat superstar via Instagram. Davido released “Funds” on December 9, 2024. Odumodublvck & Chike. He made a statement: “This one’s for the dreamers, the go getters, and everyone chasing what’s theirs! Thank you for riding with me. Let’s make history again!!!”
Rolling Stone says, “‘Funds’ samples South African singer/songwriter Brenda Fassie’s 1997 classic “Vuli Ndlela.” He performed the then-unreleased track alongside Odumodublvck during his birthday concert at his Atlanta hometown’s State Farm Arena.”
Davison gave an interview in Rolling Stone Magazine about the inspiration behind the lyrics of “Funds” and the sense of collaboration between these two rising stars.
“‘Funds’ is a celebration of the hustle and the journey,” said Davido. “Working with Odumodublvck and Chike on this track was magic. They brought their own unique energy, and together we created something special. This song isn’t just about money – it’s about the mindset, the struggle, and the rewards that come with staying true to your grind. It’s a vibe that resonates across cultures. And with 5ive on the way, I’m bringing that same energy – African pride, global sound. We’re just getting started.”
5ive would be published two years after his previous album “Timeless” which was published on March 31, 2023, via Davido Music Worldwide, Columbia Records, and Sony Music Entertainment.
