Nigerian music icon Davido has made a significant return to the spotlight with the release of his first single of 2026, titled "I Know Who I Be," featuring rising artists Jazzwrld and GL_Ceejay. This release marks a pivotal moment for the artist, who has been relatively quiet following a series of successful projects in recent years. The collaboration showcases Davido's commitment to promoting emerging talent while staying true to his distinctive sound.
Industry insiders note that Davido’s strategic choice to collaborate with new artists reflects a broader trend in Afrobeat, where established stars seek to innovate by blending their styles with fresh voices. "This song embodies the essence of who we are as artists. It’s about identity and staying grounded," said Davido in a recent interview.
As the music scene continues to evolve, “I Know Who I Be” not only reinforces Davido's status as a trailblazer but also signals his readiness to embrace the future of Afrobeat. Fans can anticipate a vibrant year ahead as Davido possibly prepares to expand his musical repertoire and influence on the global stage.
