Afrobeats Mega Superstar, Davido recently captivated audiences with a live performance of his unreleased single “5ive,” featuring Jamaican dancehall artist Shenseea. A video of this performance, shared by a fan on X and later reposted by Davido, showcased the vibrant energy of the concert held in New York. This has heightened anticipation for Davido’s upcoming fifth studio album, also titled “5ive.” It is set to be released later this month. The video, illuminated by striking purple lighting, has already received thousands of reactions. Fans celebrated the catchy nature of the track.
In the footage, Davido engages energetically with the audience, who respond with enthusiasm as “5ive” plays. The choice of purple lighting enhanced the performance’s visual appeal without overwhelming attendees. This new song represents a potential Latin-Afrobeats fusion.

Shenseea, a Grammy-nominated Jamaican dancehall singer, adds her distinctive flair to the single. Born Chinsea Linda Lee, the 28-year-old has gained international recognition. She received a 2025 Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album for her project “Never Gets Late Here.” Known for her collaborations with prominent artists such as Kanye West on “Pure Souls” and Tyga on “Blessed,” Shenseea’s dancehall background complements Davido’s Afrobeats style. This creates a cross-cultural collaboration that many fans are enthusiastic about. Her participation in “5ive” fits with Davido’s vision for the album. He shared this in a March 2025 interview, mentioning features from international artists like Victoria Monét, Becky G, alongside prominent African talents such as Odumodublvck, Chike, and YG Marley.
