Davido is building anticipation for his sixth studio album Oriade by dropping names, and fans couldn’t be more hyped. During a recent Twitch live session, the Afrobeats heavyweight revealed three of the featured artists who’ll appear on the project—and the lineup is looking fire.
The confirmed collaborators include Mayorkun, Davido’s longtime musical brother and former DMW signee, along with rising stars Llona and FOLA. For anyone who’s followed Davido and Mayorkun’s journey, their reunion on Oriade is particularly exciting. The two have consistently delivered hits together, from their DMW days to now, and their creative chemistry remains undeniable. Meanwhile, bringing Llona and FOLA into the fold showcases Davido’s commitment to elevating emerging talent—something he’s made a signature move throughout his career.
Oriade arrives July 31st as Davido’s follow-up to 5ive, marking 15 years since he first burst onto the scene and changed African music forever. According to OBO himself, this album digs deep into themes of identity, destiny, and legacy—heavy concepts for what’s shaping up to be a defining moment in his discography. With the full tracklist still under wraps, fans are on the edge of their seats wondering who else made the cut. If these three features are any indication, Oriade is going to be a statement.
