Davido Confirms Joint Album with Chris Brown on Apple Music Live, Coming 2027

Yesterday on an Apple Music live show, Davido officially announced that his joint album with Chris Brown is dropping in 2027. That is not a rumor, that is a confirmation straight from Afrobeats royalty itself, and that is something worth getting excited about.

For anyone who has been following these two artists for a while, the chemistry between them is already clear. Since 2019, Davido and Chris Brown have given fans multiple hits together, including the Grammy nominated “Sensational” and their most recent collaboration, “Titanium,” from Davido’s album 5IVE. On top of that, the duo has reportedly recorded over 20 songs together, which is honestly enough material for two albums.

What makes this project so interesting is that a full length joint album between an Afrobeats superstar and an American R&B heavyweight is not something seen every day. If they get it right, this could set a new standard for cross continental collaborations and help bring Afrobeats even further onto the global stage.

Now, there are also reasons to be a little cautious. Some critics have said that Chris Brown’s recent Afrobeats influenced work felt a bit recycled, and his personal history continues to be a concern for many listeners. Those are fair points to consider.

But with Davido focusing on authentic African production while still keeping his international appeal, this 2027 album sits at a really fascinating crossroads.
