Afrobeats star Davido has announced that his long-awaited collaborative project with American R&B singer Chris Brown will be released in 2027.
The award-winning Nigerian artiste disclosed this in an interview with Billboard Arabia, where he spoke about his approach to international collaborations, stressing the importance of natural creative chemistry rather than forced partnerships.
“I just really make music. Whoever comes around, comes around, and we make music if we are chilling, if we are in the studio,” Davido said.
He added that he prefers organic connections, noting that music transcends borders.
“I love making music with people naturally. I do not like forcing things. I just did a collaboration with Bhaskar from India. I believe music is a universal language,” he said.
Davido confirmed that the project with Chris Brown is already in place and expected to be released next year.
The two artists have built a strong collaborative history since 2019, beginning with Davido’s hit single Blow My Mind, which featured Brown. Later that year, Brown featured Davido on Lower Body.
Their partnership has continued over the years, including work on Under the Influence in 2019, co-written by Brown, Davido and Tiffany Mckie and produced by Nigerian producer KDDO.
They also collaborated on Shopping Spree with Young Thug in 2020, Sensational in 2022, and Hmmm in 2024.
