Davido Celebrates Heritage and Homecoming in Stunning “B4 B4” Visual

Davido is taking fans deeper into the world of Oriadé, his sixth studio album, with a visually stunning music video for “B4 B4” that puts Yoruba culture front and center. The track brings together longtime collaborator Mayorkun and emerging talent Fola for a powerful meditation on how far they’ve come—and the roots that ground them.

Released on July 31, 2026, Oriadé—which translates to “the crowned head” or destiny in Yoruba—represents 15 years of Davido’s reign in the Afrobeats game. The 13-track project features global heavyweights including Black Sherif, Aya Nakamura, Leon Thomas, and Llona, but “B4 B4” stands out as a deeply personal reflection nestled at the album’s core. Directed by Perliks Definition and produced by Nouvelle Films, the video isn’t just eye candy—it’s a cultural statement wrapped in vibrant tradition and contemporary style.

The visual journey opens in a sunlit courtyard where women dressed in traditional indigo Adire fabrics grind peppers in wooden mortars while drummers and dancers create an infectious rhythm. From there, the setting transitions to an elaborate palace interior complete with clay walls, woven mats, and hanging textiles that pay homage to Yoruba craftsmanship. Davido commands the screen in an oversized blue-and-white tie-dye ensemble, while Mayorkun brings his signature energy in a black suit layered with a textured green jacket. Rising artist Fola also makes his mark, adding fresh energy to the collaboration. The entire production seamlessly blends ancestral imagery with modern fashion sensibilities, creating a visual feast that honors the past while celebrating the present.

As Oriadé continues to make waves globally, “B4 B4” serves as a beautiful reminder that no matter how high you rise, remembering where you came from is what makes the journey meaningful.
