Nigerian music star Davido has announced the release of a new single, I Know Who I Be, set to drop on June 26.
The forthcoming track features Jazzwrld and GL_Ceejay and marks Davido’s return with new solo music following a period of limited releases.
The award-winning singer revealed the news on his X account on Monday, telling fans that “the journey to the throne begins” as he unveiled plans for the project. He also confirmed that I Know Who I Be would be released on June 26, alongside promotional images for the song.
The announcement has sparked excitement among fans, especially after Davido disclosed in May that he intended to take a temporary break from making music.
Davido rose to prominence in 2012 with the hit single Dami Duro and later established DMW Records, a label that has nurtured several successful artistes.
Before this announcement, his last solo release was Be There Still, released in March 2025. He most recently appeared as a featured artiste on Nakupenda by TxC.
The new single follows Davido’s performance at the opening concert of the 2026 FIFA World Cup countdown series in Los Angeles, further strengthening his international profile.
With acclaimed projects such as Omo Baba Olowo, A Good Time, A Better Time, and Timeless, Davido remains one of the leading figures in the global Afrobeats scene. Fans will now be looking forward to what he delivers with I Know Who I Be.
