Afrobeats giant Davido and R&B megastar Chris Brown are turning up the heat globally with the announcement of a joint album and a blockbuster world tour.
The long-anticipated collaboration follows a string of chart-topping bangers between the duo, including fan favorites like “Blow My Mind” and “Sensational.”
Davido broke the news during a Twitch session with Cruel Santino, revealing that he and Breezy have recorded “plenty of unreleased heat” that will form the foundation of the upcoming album. This musical alliance is set to drop shortly after Davido’s highly-anticipated solo album, “5ive,” which lands on June 3, 2025. The pair plans to hit the road globally afterward, electrifying fans with a fusion of Afrobeats and R&B like never before.
5ive boasts an international lineup including Victoria Monét, Becky G, Omah Lay, Victony, and of course, Chris Brown himself. The project promises a matured Davido, blending introspection with groove-heavy anthems, marking a pivotal chapter in his evolution as an artist and cultural force.
Meanwhile, Chris Brown—who has consistently embraced Afrobeats through collaborations and his 11:11 (Deluxe) album—further cements his role as a cross-continental hitmaker. His synergy with Davido is now set to evolve into a full-fledged joint era, merging rhythm, roots, and global appeal.
Tour dates and the album title are still under wraps, but one thing is certain: fans are on the brink of a sonic experience that could redefine pop culture on two continents. Are you ready for the Davido x Chris Brown takeover?
