Davido confirms official release date and title of new song

Davido is gearing up to make a powerful statement with his latest musical offering. The Afrobeats heavyweight has just dropped major news about his upcoming single, and the anticipation is already building across the global music community.

Taking to social media, the Nigerian superstar officially announced that his new track “I Know Who I Be” will drop on Friday, June 26, 2026. But it wasn’t just the release date that caught attention—Davido’s accompanying message suggested something deeper is brewing. “The journey to the throne begins,” he declared, adding a crown emoji that speaks volumes about his current mindset and artistic direction. This single marks his first new music since the release of his recent project ‘5ive’, and if his teaser is any indication, he’s ready to cement his legacy even further.

What makes “I Know Who I Be” particularly intriguing is the cross-continental collaboration behind it. Davido has tapped South African talents Jazzwrld and GL Ceejay for the record, continuing the rich tradition of musical bridges between West and Southern Africa. These collaborations have consistently produced some of Afrobeats’ most exciting moments, blending different regional flavors into something uniquely powerful. With Davido’s track record of delivering hits and his clear intention to make a statement, June 26 can’t come soon enough for fans worldwide.
