Davido Confirms Mayorkun, Llona and FOLA as Features on Oriade Album

Davido has named three of the guest acts on his sixth studio album, Oriade, ahead of its July 31 release. During a live session on Twitch, the Afrobeats star confirmed that Mayorkun, Llona and FOLA will all appear on the project, offering fans a first look at the collaborations to expect.

Mayorkun Reunion Headlines Early Feature Reveals

Of the three names announced, Mayorkun’s is arguably the most significant. The singer rose to prominence under Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), and the pair have a history of delivering fan-favourite records together. Their renewed link-up is already being talked about as one of the album’s most anticipated moments.

Alongside the former DMW star, Davido confirmed slots for Llona and FOLA, two of the fastest-rising voices in Nigerian music. Their inclusion continues a pattern the singer has maintained across his projects — pairing established hitmakers with emerging talent to keep his sound fresh.

The full tracklist has not yet been made public, meaning more guest appearances could still be revealed before the album arrives. For now, the three confirmations have sharpened anticipation around what is tipped to be one of the biggest Afrobeats releases of the year.

Oriade Set to Mark 15 Years of Davido’s Career

Oriade follows the success of 5ive and arrives at a milestone moment, with the project positioned as a celebration of Davido’s 15-year journey in music. According to the singer, the album is built around themes of identity, destiny and legacy — a more reflective framing than fans may be used to from one of the genre’s most commercially dominant figures.

Feature reveals of this kind have become a familiar part of the modern album rollout, drip-feeding information to keep audiences engaged in the build-up to release day. For an artist of Davido’s stature, each confirmed name fuels speculation about who else might make the final cut.

With the release date now just around the corner, attention turns to the remaining tracklist details — and whether Oriade can live up to the considerable expectations surrounding it.
