The project is also expected to usher in another major phase of the singer’s career, with a world tour set to follow its release and surprise guest appearances anticipated during the concerts.
Davido announced the album’s release date on June 29, revealing that ORIADE would arrive on July 31, 2026.
He made the announcement on social media alongside a video in which he appeared in regal Yoruba attire, accompanied by a Yoruba eulogy reflecting the spirit of the album’s title.
“The kingdom expands. Chosen long before the throne,” Davido captioned the post.
The album represents his sixth LP and seventh major project since he emerged on Nigeria’s mainstream music scene more than a decade ago.
Davido had previously introduced ORIADE with its first single, I Know Who I Be, featuring South African duo JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay.
The song reflects on his 15-year journey in music and the major milestones recorded throughout his career. Its accompanying video revisits the childhood home where his musical journey began and features appearances from longtime collaborators and members of his team.
