Davido reveals 3 artists featured on new album Oriade

Davido just dropped some major intel about his upcoming album Oriade, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. During a candid Twitch live session, the Afrobeats titan pulled back the curtain on three collaborators gracing his sixth studio project—and the lineup is absolutely fire.

The OBO himself confirmed that Mayorkun, Llona, and FOLA will all be lending their talents to Oriade, set to arrive July 31st. For longtime fans, Mayorkun’s return to a Davido track feels like a homecoming. The former DMW labelmate has undeniable chemistry with Davido, and their past collaborations have consistently dominated charts and playlists across the continent. Meanwhile, rising stars Llona and FOLA represent Davido’s signature move of amplifying emerging voices alongside established heavyweights—a formula that’s become part of his legacy-building blueprint.

This album holds special weight in Davido’s catalog. Following the success of 5ive, Oriade arrives as both a celebration of his 15-year reign in the industry and an exploration of deeper themes around identity, destiny, and legacy. The project’s title itself—which translates to “my destiny has arrived” in Yoruba—signals a reflective, purposeful body of work. While the full tracklist remains under wraps, these three confirmed features have already set social media ablaze with speculation about who else might appear on what’s shaping up to be one of 2025’s most important Afrobeats releases.
