Afrobeats fans are in for an exciting treat as award-winning singer Adekunle Gold has hinted at a collaboration with global superstar Davido on the latter’s forthcoming album, 5ive.
Adekunle Gold, popularly known as AG Baby, took to his X (formerly Twitter) page to share a cryptic post referencing Davido’s project, subtly suggesting that he might be featured on the album.
The speculation gained further traction when pictures surfaced online showing both artists in the studio, seemingly working on what could be their second official collaboration. With 5ive scheduled for release on March 15, 2025, the possibility of another AG Baby and Davido record has sent fans into a frenzy.
Their musical chemistry is well documented. In 2021, Adekunle Gold and Davido joined forces on the smash hit High, a track off Adekunle’s fourth studio album, Catch Me If You Can. The song was a massive success, topping charts and becoming a fan favorite. Beyond their collaborations, AG Baby has played a role in Davido’s career behind the scenes.
He notably penned 1 Milli, one of the standout songs from Davido’s second album, A Good Time. Given their history of creating magic together, the anticipation for their next joint effort is understandably high.
While details about 5ive remain tightly under wraps, Davido has been vocal about his excitement for the album, describing it as “the best he has ever made.” The project is expected to follow in the footsteps of his Grammy-nominated fourth album, Timeless, which earned critical acclaim and commercial success.
So far, 5ive has been led by two hit singles—Awuke featuring YG Marley and Funds, a collaboration with Chike and Odumodublvck. In addition to Adekunle Gold, another major collaboration expected on the album is one with Omah Lay, who confirmed his involvement in a recent interview.
With Davido’s reputation for curating hit-filled albums, 5ive is shaping up to be another significant milestone in his career. Fans are particularly excited about how he will blend his signature Afrobeats sound with the diverse styles of his collaborators.
As one social media user put it, “AG Baby and OBO on another track? That’s an instant banger!” Others have taken to Twitter to speculate about the possible sonic direction of the album, with many hoping for a mix of high-energy anthems and deep, soulful records.
For Davido, 5ive is more than just another album; it’s a statement of his continued dominance in the industry. With over a decade at the top, he has consistently delivered hits and evolved as an artist. His ability to reinvent himself while maintaining his core sound is one of the reasons he remains one of Africa’s biggest musical exports.
A collaboration with Adekunle Gold on this album would further solidify his commitment to pushing boundaries and working with top-tier talent.
As the release date for 5ive approaches, excitement continues to build, with fans eagerly awaiting the full tracklist and more details about the album. Whether it’s an energetic club banger or a smooth mid-tempo groove, one thing is certain: if AG Baby and OBO are linking up again, Afrobeats lovers are in for something special.
