"Oriadé—31st July. The kingdom expands. Chosen long before the throne. Pre-order my new album now," Davido wrote in a caption of an intro video he shared.
The album’s title, Oriadé, is a combination of the Yoruba words “ori” (head or destiny) and “adé” (crown), symbolising destiny, honour and fulfilment.
According to Davido, who had an exclusive interview with Billboard, the project reflected both his personal journey and his mission to elevate African music on the global stage.
The 13-track album rollout began with the release of its lead single, “I Know Who I Be.'
It served as the follow-up to Davido's 5th studio album, 5ive, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard World Albums chart.
Davido's wife, Chioma Adeleke, also drummed up support for the singer ahead of the release of his sixth studio album.
Sharing the album teaser on her Instagram story, Chioma wrote, "Can't wait."
