Afrobeats superstar Davido has officially announced the release of his new single, “I Know Who I Be,” scheduled to drop on Friday, June 26, 2026, marking his first official release of the year and signalling a strong return to the music scene. The Grammy-nominated artiste took to his X page on Monday, June 22, to share the news, posting: “The journey to the throne begins. My next single I Know Who I Be releases June 26th.” The announcement was accompanied by promotional photos for the forthcoming project, according to multiple reports.
The track will feature emerging talents Jazzwrld, a Lesotho artiste, and South African artiste GL_Ceejay, pulling in two voices from the southern end of the continent for what is described as a lethal collaboration. The partnership reflects Davido’s continued commitment to Pan-African collaboration and cross-border musical fusion, a signature of his recent projects. “I Know Who I Be” is already generating significant anticipation ahead of its official release.
Davido’s last major single, “Funds,” featuring Odumodublvck and Chiké, became a commercial success and a staple of the 2025 summer, earning platinum certification and cementing his status as one of Africa’s most consistent hitmakers. The new single follows a successful 2025 campaign that saw him sell out arenas across Africa and North America, while his 2024 album, “Timeless,” continues to enjoy streaming success with over one billion streams globally. In February 2026, Davido finished as runner-up in the Best African Music Performance award at the 68th Grammy Awards, a testament to his enduring global appeal.
The announcement has generated significant buzz on social media, with fans and industry watchers expressing excitement over the collaboration. “I Know Who I Be” is poised to be one of the summer’s biggest Afrobeats releases.
