When Davido disappeared from the spotlight in 2022, the silence was loud.
He had fair suffered an unimaginable personal loss — the kind that knocks the air out of your chest and makes the world really feel meaningless.
For months, the usually vibrant, ever-existing megastar went tranquil. And so did parts of the song industry.
In a contemporary interview on The Ebro Reveal on Apple Track, Davido unfolded about what that time felt fancy — both for him and for his fans.
“I was seeing tweets fancy, ‘Damn, it’s so tranquil out right here. David, please near back.’ Even folks who didn’t fancy me had been fancy, ‘Please near back, we have to diss you.’”
The misfortune was heavy, however so was the savor. Fans didn’t fair wait — they prayed, posted, and organized tribute occasions.
Certainly one of the most moving moments came when he made a shock appearance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
It was his 2d time stepping out in public since the tragedy, and it reminded the world why Davido isn’t fair an artist — he’s a image of resilience.
Then came Timeless — an album that lived as much as its name. It wasn’t fair a comeback; it was a statement. The challenge broke data, birthed hits fancy Unavailable and Really feel, and earned Davido Grammy nominations. Extra importantly, it reminded fans that he wasn’t accomplished — fair healing.
Now, in 2025, Davido is in wander again — louder, bolder, and maybe even more intentional. His fifth studio album, 5ive, dropped on April 18 with features from global stars fancy Victoria Monét, Shenseea, Dadju, and Tay C. And as soon as again, he’s making history.
Together with his latest single With You (featuring Omah Lay) debuting at No. 1, Davido has now scored No. 1 hits for six straight years on Nigeria’s TurnTable Prime 100. No other artist has accomplished that.
But he’s not stopping there.
Next up is the 5 Alive tour — 13 dates across major cities, culminating in what may be the greatest reveal of his career: a bought-out performance at the 60,000-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
He’ll be sharing the stage with 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige, two legends whose journeys contemplate his in more ways than one — longevity, pain, and energy.
Davido’s legend isn’t fair about song anymore. It’s about pointers on how to lose everything and level-headed find your stammer. About pointers on how to head tranquil — and level-headed near back louder than ever.
