Nigerian music icon Davido unveiled his latest single, “Funds,” on November 6, 2024, signaling the start of an exciting new chapter in his music career.
This vibrant track masterfully blends Afrobeats and Highlife, delivering an irresistible sound designed to get people dancing.
“Funds” celebrates themes of love, joy, and prosperity, with Davido’s lyrics painting a vivid picture of opulence and romance. Singing in both English and Pidgin, he tells the story of a mesmerizing woman who has captured his heart, promising her a life filled with luxury and happiness.
The song features a creative nod to Brenda Fassie’s timeless South African hit, “Vulindlela,” skillfully reinterpreted with Davido’s unique flair. Collaborations with OdumoduBlvck, whose energetic delivery adds a fresh dynamic, and Chike, whose melodic Igbo touches enhance the track’s Highlife essence, elevate the song to new heights.
Set to become an anthem for Nigeria’s vibrant Detty December celebrations, “Funds” follows Davido’s hit single “Awuke,” featuring YG Marley. Both tracks build anticipation for his upcoming fifth album, “5ive,” scheduled for release on March 14, 2025.
This year has been groundbreaking for Davido, marked by three Grammy nominations and chart-topping collaborations with artists like Kizz Daniel, Hyce, Boy Pee, and Brown Joel. His global influence continues to grow as his music resonates with fans around the world.
As December approaches, fans eagerly await Davido’s headlining performance at the Fly Time Festival, where he’s set to deliver an unforgettable show.
“Funds” is more than just a party anthem—it’s a testament to Davido’s unmatched talent and his ability to craft music that connects with audiences on every level.
