Davido has done it again—and this time, he’s dropped an album so hot it practically cooked the Apple Music charts. The man woke up, dropped “5IVE”, and before fans could say “who dey breeet?”, all 17 tracks were chilling at the top of Apple Music Nigeria like it’s their birthright.
From track 1 to 17, he didn’t just dominate the charts; he colonized it. The only thing missing was a Davido national anthem to go with it.
Davido’s 5th studio album – but who is counting?
Let’s be honest when Davido said “5IVE IS ALIVE”, we didn’t know he meant the album would be this alive. Each track sounds like he’s been bottling up good vibes since “Timeless” and decided to pour everything out with full premium energy.
Whether it’s the emotional depth, dancefloor bangers, or the smooth blend of afrobeats with sweet melodies—“5IVE” delivers with the precision of a Chelsea keeper during warm-up (not matchday, please).
OBO the professor – schooling the industry one hit at a time
The fans didn’t hold back either. They basically crowned him the Dean of Sweet Gbedu University, suggesting some of his colleagues (no names, but you know who) need to lock themselves in the studio with him for a week just to learn the basics of how to produce an album that hits this hard.
Let’s not lie, if Davido opened a music tutorial class today, e go full. Producers, hypemen, even TikTok dancers will apply.
Collab heaven: Omah Lay and others came correct
Among the fan favorites is the track with Omah Lay. But honestly, every song on the album is carrying its weight like it paid for a gym membership.
If you’re picking a favorite on “5IVE,” just know it might change every 48 hours. It’s that good.
Wizkid FC and Burna Gang? They showed love too
Even fans from “the other camps” (Wizkid FC and Burna Boy loyalists) had to drop their grudges and show respect.
Some even crossed over momentarily just to vibe. Because when the music is this good, even fan wars take a tea break.
One fan said, “I’m a Wizkid fan, but Davido is the GOAT. No debate today.” And honestly, that says a lot.
The verdict
Davido is not just singing for the charts anymore; he’s solidifying his legacy.
From being called the “rich kid with vibes” to now being seen as a global music heavyweight, OBO has truly earned his stripes.
“5IVE” is not just an album, it’s a cultural moment. A gentle reminder that in an industry where consistency is scarce, Davido remains the guy who shows up and shows out.
