Davido confirms official release date and title of new song

Davido is gearing up to make waves this summer with a brand-new single that’s already generating serious buzz across the Afrobeats community. The Nigerian superstar has just announced “I Know Who I Be,” dropping Friday, June 26, 2026, and if his social media tease is anything to go by, this release could mark the beginning of something monumental.

Taking to his platforms with characteristic confidence, Davido declared: “The journey to the throne begins. 👑 My next single I Know Who I Be releases Friday June 26th 2026.” The bold statement has fans speculating about whether this track will launch an entirely new album cycle or creative phase for the artist. What’s particularly exciting is the continental collaboration at play—Davido is linking up with South African talents Jazzwrld and GL Ceejay, continuing Afrobeats’ tradition of bridging West and Southern African sounds into infectious cross-pollinations.

This marks Davido’s first major single release following his recent project ‘5ive,’ and the timing couldn’t be more strategic. With the global appetite for Afrobeats at an all-time high and collaborations between African regions proving to be chart gold, “I Know Who I Be” has all the ingredients to be another international moment. The title itself radiates the self-assured energy that’s become Davido’s trademark, promising a track that celebrates identity and confidence.

As June 26 approaches, the anticipation is building. Whether this single stands alone or signals the start of a larger campaign, one thing is certain—Davido knows exactly who he is, and he’s ready to remind the world.
