5x Grammy-nominated superstar Davido, returns with new single and music video I Know Who I Be featuring leading 3-Step producer JAZZWRLD and artist GL_CeeJay.
Fresh off the FIFA World Cup 2026 global stage, Davido has returned with an invigorating single, launching a new era built upon 15 years of elevating Afrobeats into a musical powerhouse. Produced by acclaimed South African hitmakers JAZZWRLD and GL_CeeJay, the track pairs anthemic lyricism with a high-energy bassline that permeates throughout, commanding an aura that's impossible to ignore. A bold tune about identity and roots, I Know Who I Be is a celebration of how far Davido has come and a reminder of exactly who he is. Through record-breaking achievements, sold-out stadiums and a relentless commitment to pushing culture forward, he has built a legacy that extends far beyond music alone.
"I Know Who I Be is more than a song, it's a reminder that no matter where life takes you, your roots will always be your greatest strength,” says Davido of the record. “I know who I be, and after more than 15 years of creating music, the world knows who I am, too.”
Under Dammy Twitch’s direction and shot in Nigeria, the visual unfolds as a cinematic meditation on identity, legacy, and the unshakable pull of destiny. It opens with a young man lost in music before his father abruptly interrupts, declaring that music is not allowed in the house. Yet some callings cannot be denied, and the protagonist slips away to a recording studio, pursuing the path he knows is meant for him, a poignant reflection of Davido’s own journey toward music and the purpose that ultimately defined his life.
As the story unfolds, the video blurs the line between personal narrative and legacy, weaving in appearances from the people who have stood by Davido throughout his rise. Alongside featured artists JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay, the visual spotlights members of Davido’s inner circle, including longtime manager Asa Asika, creative director Black Tycoone, trusted confidant Lati, stylist Hollyandroo, and others whose presence serves as a testament to the community, loyalty, and shared belief that have accompanied him every step of the way.
