Nigerian music superstar Davido has sparked reactions after postponing the release of his highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5ive.
Initially scheduled for March 15, 2025, the album is now set to drop on April 18, 2025, according to an update on Apple Music. While Davido has not officially disclosed the reason for the delay, many fans believe it was influenced by the upcoming Ramadan fast.
Some supporters have praised the move, commending the singer for showing respect for Islam by avoiding a major release during the holy month. However, others argue that the decision was purely strategic, suggesting that Davido may be timing the release for maximum impact.
5ive will be Davido’s first album since 2024’s Timeless, which produced global hits like "Unavailable" and "Feel". Despite the one-month delay, anticipation for the project continues to build, with fans eagerly counting down to the new release date.
