The 32-year-old, also known as David Adedeji Adeleke, posted on the platform X, declaring he would \"soon leave their music for una GO MAKE MY BILLIONS … then that shit gonna be boring AF.\" This announcement has elicited diverse reactions from fans and industry professionals alike, with many urging him to remain resilient against the negative sentiment. A veteran in the music scene since 2011, Davido has consistently delivered chart-topping hits, releasing five albums: 'Omo Baba Olowo' (2012), 'A Good Time' (2019), 'A Better Time' (2020), 'Timeless' (2023), and his most recent '5ive' (2025). His 2017 singles, 'If' and 'Fall,' revolutionized the Nigerian pop music landscape, with 'Fall' amassing over 100 million views on YouTube, making it the longest-charting Nigerian pop song on Billboard and the first Nigerian music video to hit that milestone. Davido's achievements are numerous, including a BET Award for Best International Act Africa, two MTV Africa Music Awards, a MOBO Award, and being the first African artist to earn Gold certification in the US and Canada for a single. In addition, he holds the record for being the youngest African to sell out the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in London, and in 2023, his album 'Timeless' broke streaming records on Spotify, Boomplay, and Audiomack, earning three Grammy nominations. His fifth album, '5ive,' has already secured three No.1 singles in Nigeria, a feat no other artist has accomplished in six consecutive years. Davido has been honored with Nigeria's national recognition, the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON), for his cultural contributions and is listed among Forbes Africa's 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Next. Recently, he was inducted into the Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame Class of 2026 in Atlanta for his pivotal role in making Afrobeats a global phenomenon.",
