Davido’s Influence in the Music Industry
Picture this: a world without the rhythmic beats and soulful tunes of Davido. It’s almost unimaginable, right? Well, according to the man himself, his absence isn’t just felt by his fans – it resonates throughout the entire music industry.
In a recent sit-down with Ebro on Apple Music’s The Ebro Show, Davido opened up about how his temporary retreat from the limelight sent shockwaves through the music scene. It wasn’t just about missing his chart-topping hits; it was about an entire industry feeling the void left by one of its brightest stars.
A Momentary Silence
Reflecting on a personal tragedy that rocked his world in 2022, Davido shared with Ebro how his hiatus during that period had profound ripple effects. Tweets pleading for his return flooded social media feeds, even from those who may not have been die-hard fans before. As Davido puts it, “Even people who didn’t like me were like ‘please come back, we need to diss you’.”
The lull preceding Davido’s groundbreaking album ‘Timeless’ marked a challenging phase for the talented artist. But as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder – and in this case, it made fans yearn for Davido’s triumphant comeback.
Resurgence and Triumph
Emerging from his cocoon of introspection, Davido reemerged onto the global stage with an unforgettable performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This iconic moment set the stage for what was to come – ‘Timeless’, an album that would solidify Davido’s status as a musical powerhouse.
With smash hits like ‘Unavailable’ and ‘Feel’, ‘Timeless’ soared to Grammy-nominated heights and captivated audiences worldwide. And just when you thought he couldn’t outdo himself, Davido dropped another bombshell – his fifth studio album aptly named ‘5ive’.
The Rise of 5ive
Released on April 18, 2025, ‘5ive’ is a musical tapestry woven with 17 mesmerizing tracks featuring collaborations with international sensations such as Victoria Monet, Shenseea, Dadju, and Tay C. Making history yet again, Davido clinched the top spot on TurnTable Top 100 for six consecutive years with his chart-topping single ‘With You’, featuring Omah Lay.
As accolades continue to pour in and nominations stack up (five-time Grammy nominee anyone?), Davido shows no signs of slowing down. Next on his agenda? The highly anticipated ‘5 Alive’ tour beckons fans far and wide to witness firsthand why he is considered one of music’s most electrifying performers.
From headlining at iconic venues like Tottenham Hotspur stadium alongside legends like 50 Cent and Mary J Blige to captivating audiences worldwide with his magnetic presence – there seems to be no limit to what this multi-award-winning superstar can achieve.
