constructed from scratch - Davido attributes God, supporters for achievements in his profession
In the pulsating world of Afrobeats, one name stands tall: Davido. This Nigerian-American music sensation has been instrumental in taking the genre global, and his latest album, "5ive," released in 2025, is a testament to his enduring influence.
Boasting 17 captivating tracks, "5ive" marks a fresh chapter in Davido's journey, displaying his unwavering resilience and artistic evolution [1][3]. Packing sizeable venues for sold-out shows, Davido's steady ascension in the music industry is a testament to his fervent commitment to his craft [4]. His interviews, such as the 2025 Headies, vividly encapsulate his journey and pivotal role in Afrobeats [2].
When reflecting upon his success, Davido humbly acknowledges that his ascent was self-made, free from industry heavyweights aiding in his early career, unlike many contemporaries [5]. While he credits God, quality music, and his ardent fans for his progress, he remains rooted in his independent ethos, his mantra echoing, "No co-sign, built from the ground up!" [5].
Davido's personal life has faced trials, with the tragic loss of his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke, in 2022. This heart-wrenching incident left an indelible impact on him, yet he persevered, channeling his grief into his music [6]. The resemblance between his newborn son and the late Ifeanyi is striking, eerie even, a sentiment the singer shares, stating, "It's like he came back." [6]. His family believes Ifeanyi has reincarnated through their newest addition, a powerful affirmation of their faith.
"To come back from that [the loss of Ifeanyi] and be blessed with twins out the gate... it just shows God is real" [6], Davido reflects, impressed by his own resilience and divine guidance. As he enters fatherhood once more, he grapples with the profound pain that shaped him, but also the profound blessings that followed.
