Fans react as Davido postpones album release

Fans have reacted strongly to the decision of Davido to postpone the release of his highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5ive.
Many are speculating that the change was influenced by the upcoming Ramadan fast. Initially set for release on March 15, 2025, the album will now drop on April 18, as updated on Apple Music.
While Davido has not officially stated the reason for his decision to postpone the album release, some fans praised him for showing respect for Islam by avoiding a release during the holy month. An X user, Damilola, wrote: "Davido postponed the album, very good decision. You can’t drop an album during fasting and expect good results. It’s common sense. He respects the Islamic religion. GOAT!"
Another fan, Dhavidote, echoed a similar sentiment, stating, "Davido postponed the album release because of Ramadan, legendary ting!"
Similarly, Bash_berry77 commented, "Better… after Ramadan, we attack!" while atandaakeem79 added, "March is for Ramadan. April for 5ive. Nice one!"
However, some fans believe the delay was strategic rather than religious. User @emmyooo noted, "Davido dey for everybody. He wants Ruger’s album to gain streams, so 5ive won’t swallow his album."
Davido’s 5ive album follows his 2024 project Timeless, which produced global hits like Unavailable and Feel. With fans eagerly anticipating the new album, the one-month delay has only intensified the buzz around its release.
