Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has kicked off 2026 with a new single titled “I Know Who I Be,” featuring South African amapiano acts JAZZWRLD and GL Ceejay.
The track was released under Davido Music Worldwide and Sony Music UK.
The release has been met with enthusiasm from his loyal 30BG fanbase, who have described it as a strong opening to what they call his “journey to the throne,” with early streams flooding timelines across social media.
A music video for the track is also set to drop imminently.
However, not all reactions have been positive, as some critics dismissed the song as TikTok-friendly fare that falls short of club standards.
Despite the divided opinions, the buzz surrounding the release has underscored Davido’s enduring pull, with the Afrobeats heavyweight hitting 11 million Spotify listeners once again on the back of the cross-continental collaboration.
