Davido announces 5IVE tour in Nigeria

Afrobeats superstar Davido has thrilled fans with a major announcement; he’s taking his acclaimed 5IVE Tour to cities across Nigeria, marking his official homecoming after a successful North American run.

The Unavailable crooner took to social media to share the news, revealing that the Nigerian leg of his tour will kick off on October 18 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. 

The 30,000-capacity venue is expected to be packed with fans eager to see the superstar perform live.

From there, Davido will head to Enugu, where he’s set to take over Michael Okpara Square on October 26, before storming Yola’s Mahmud Ribadu Square on October 29.

 The first phase of the tour will wrap up in Ibadan on November 2 at the historic Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, formerly known as Liberty Stadium.

But that’s not all. The DMW boss will round off the year with two massive shows: one at Eagle Square, Abuja, on December 14, and a grand finale at Eko Hotel, Lagos, on Christmas Eve, a night that promises to be nothing short of spectacular.

Sharing his excitement, Davido wrote:

“I’m blessed to perform all around the world, and everywhere I go, Nigeria goes with me. But this time… I’m bringing it HOME. 🫡 After an unforgettable North American tour, it’s only right we bring that energy back where it all began. 🇳🇬 This one’s for the culture. This one’s personal. This one’s for US.”

“Wizkid did not make me famous” - Tems

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Tems has finally addressed the long-standing debate surrounding her rise to fame and her collaboration with Wizkid on the chart-topping hit Essence.

In a rare and candid interview, the Free Mind hitmaker spoke openly about the years of online chatter from Wizkid’s fanbase, who often credit the Ojuelegba crooner for her success.

 Tems, who is known for keeping her personal views out of public drama, said she felt it was time to set the record straight.

“Wizkid did not make me famous. His fans should stop moving mad. I love him, but let’s not twist the story. Essence was written by me,” she stated firmly.

Tems emphasized that while she has deep respect for Wizkid and values their collaboration, it was unfair and disrespectful for people to downplay her creative contribution to Essence and her growth as an artist.

Since its release in 2020, Essence has become a global anthem, earning both artists international acclaim and reshaping Afrobeats’ global sound. 

Yet, as Tems’ solo career continued to soar, with collaborations alongside Drake, Beyoncé, and Future, some fans of Wizkid accused her of being ungrateful for not consistently attributing her rise to him.

Tems pushed back against that narrative, reminding listeners that she was already on her way up before the collaboration. 

“People who really followed my journey know I had songs like Try Me and Mr Rebel before Essence came along. I was already building something,” she explained.

Sources close to both artists say the tension between Tems and Wizkid’s fanbase grew after she became a global star, with her artistic independence sometimes mistaken for pride.

 The debate resurfaced when she reportedly declined to perform Essence at a major international show, focusing instead on her new projects.

Odumodublvck reveals Wizkid and Davido didn’t charge him for features on new album ‘Industry Machine'

Nigerian rapper Odumodublvck has revealed that his collaborations with Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid and Davido on his latest album, Industry Machine, came at no cost.

Speaking during a session on Afrobeats To The World on X, the Declan Rice hitmaker disclosed that both stars offered their support purely out of respect for his craft and hustle.

“Davido and Wizkid are real men. Both of them know they are on my album, but they are there by the special grace of God and on the virtue of the respect they have for my hustle because I didn’t pay them a dime,” Odumodublvck shared.

The rapper explained that Wizkid’s feature was more than just a verse, it was an entire song gifted to him.

“The song that Wizkid featured on is his song. He gave me the song. I didn’t record and send it to him, he gave me!” he said. “Wizkid’s verse on my album is the greatest verse you have ever heard.”

Davido appears on Grooving alongside Seun Kuti, while Wizkid is featured on Big Time. Both tracks form part of Odumodublvck’s Industry Machine album, which has quickly become one of the most talked-about releases in Nigerian hip-hop this year.

Tems champions African women in music with her powerful Leading Vibe Initiative

 

Nigerian superstar Tems is using her platform to inspire and empower the next generation of African women in music. 

The Grammy-winning singer and producer is not only redefining global Afrobeats with her soulful, introspective sound but also building pathways for women to thrive in an industry that has long been male-dominated.

Speaking in a recent interview with CNN’s Larry Madowo and Lamide Akintobi, the Free Mind hitmaker reflected on her journey to success and the challenges she faced along the way. 

“It was really hard to get people to take me seriously, not just as a producer, but as a singer,” she said. 

“I didn’t feel safe, and I didn’t feel seen, and I didn’t feel supported for a very long time.”

Those experiences inspired Tems to create the Leading Vibe Initiative, a mentorship and training platform designed to empower African women in the music business. 

Launched in Lagos in July 2025, the programme supports women aged 18 to 35 who want to become producers, sound engineers, and managers.

“There are so many talented women who can be producers, managers, audio engineers, but they’re not even visible,” Tems explained. “I want to make them visible and create a space where we can redefine the perspective of women in music.”

While the project began in Nigeria, Tems has made it clear that her vision extends across the continent. “We’re definitely taking this beyond Nigeria. Actually, we’re going to Kenya next,” she revealed.

Reflecting on fame and purpose, the Essence singer shared a powerful message about fulfillment: “Fame is not what you want. You could be famous and uncomfortable, famous and unsuccessful. What you really want is to be comfortable.”
