As the countdown begins for Davido’s fifth studio album, 5ive, the excitement in the air is palpable—and no one’s more hyped than his close friend and hype man, Cubana Chief Priest. The nightlife mogul and influencer took to Instagram with a heartfelt post celebrating Davido not just as a superstar, but as a brother for life.
In the emotional tribute, Chief Priest described Davido as a “priceless gem” whose music has been a lifeline—not just to fans, but to him personally. According to him, the Afrobeats megastar inspired his own recent foray into music, leading to the release of “More Money”, a vibrant debut single featuring Boypee, Hyce, and Brown Joel, with Davido as executive producer.
A Brotherhood Beyond Music
Their friendship has long transcended industry ties. From standing beside Davido as a groomsman during his 2024 wedding, to countless joint celebrations and public declarations of loyalty, the duo embodies true brotherhood in an industry often marked by rivalry.
Chief Priest’s unwavering support for Davido isn’t new—but with 5ive dropping April 18, he’s taking it up a notch, pledging to be the album’s “loudest voice.” And with a tracklist that spans continents and cultures, there’s plenty to be proud of.
A Global Album for a Global Star
Davido’s 5ive promises to be a sonic feast with a star-studded lineup that reflects his global influence:
• Omah Lay, Victony, Odumodublvck, and Chike hold it down for Naija.
• YG Marley sets the tone with the lead single, Awuke.
• Caribbean heat comes from Shensea and 450.
• Chris Brown returns to the lineup, alongside Victoria Monét and Becky G.
• South African superstar Musa Keys delivers more of the magic they created on Unavailable.
• French pop royalty Dadju and Tayc round out the cross-continental collaborations.
A Celebration of Culture & Connection
From Lagos to Kingston, Atlanta to Paris, 5ive isn’t just an album—it’s a movement, a musical celebration of sound, culture, brotherhood, and unity. And with Cubana Chief Priest leading the charge, fans can expect an unforgettable rollout.
Get ready—April 18 belongs to Davido, and 5ive is set to redefine the sound of Afrobeats worldwide.
