Davido confirms official release date and title of new song

Davido is gearing up to make a major statement with his next single, and the OBO crooner has just given fans the official word on what’s coming. The Nigerian superstar took to social media to announce “I Know Who I Be,” dropping Friday, June 26, 2026—and based on his teaser, this track might mark the beginning of something massive.

The announcement came with an intriguing caption that has the Afrobeats community buzzing: “The journey to the throne begins. 👑 My next single I Know Who I Be releases Friday June 26th 2026.” It’s classic Davido energy—confident, bold, and unapologetic. The new track represents his first offering since the release of his ‘5ive’ project, suggesting the award-winning artist is ready to kick off a fresh chapter in his already illustrious career.

What makes “I Know Who I Be” even more exciting is the collaboration angle. Davido is linking up with South African talents Jazzwrld and GL Ceejay, continuing the cross-continental wave that’s been defining modern African music. The fusion of West African and Southern African sounds has produced some of the continent’s biggest hits in recent years, and with Davido’s track record for creating bangers, expectations are understandably high. As June 26 approaches, all eyes will be on what this power trio delivers.
