After years of anticipation, the joint project between Davido and Chris Brown seems to be getting closer to a release date.
In a recent interview, Afrobeats megastar Davido revealed that his joint album with American hitmaker Chris Brown will hopefully be dropping later in 2027.
Speaking to Martell’s Swift Conversations on the sidelines of his recent Coachella 2026 Day 2 performance, the Afrobeats star said: “There’s definitely more music. Me and Chris Brown got an album coming out hopefully at the end of next year”.
In previous interviews, Davido has spoken highly of his friendship with Chris Brown, whom he described as one of the greatest performers alive and with whom he has enough songs to create multiple albums.
After nearly two years of teasing a joint album, Davido’s latest revelation suggests the highly anticipated project might become a reality.
The partnership between the duo dates back to 2019, when they paired up on the smash hit record ‘Blow My Mind,’ which was a lead-up single to his album ‘A Good Time.’ Chris Brown returned the favour in the same year as he featured Davido on ‘Lower Body’ off his album ‘Indigo’.
In 2020, Davido called on Chris Brown and American rapper Young Thug for the collaboration ‘Shopping Spree’, which is one of the singles on his third album ‘A Better Time’. Two years later, the duo linked up again for ‘Nobody Needs To Know’ on Chris Brown’s 2022 album ‘Breezy’.
In 2023, they scored one of their biggest hits yet with ‘Sensational’, which also had a guest verse from Nigerian star Lojay. The song earned both Davido and Lojay their first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, and also got a nod for the Best African Song Performance Award at the 2024 Grammys.
Their last collaboration came in 2024 on the Afropop party starter ‘Hmm’, which was one of the standout tracks on Chris Brown’s album ’11:11′.
This long list of songs shows they have a synergy that has been successfully interpreted through hit records across Afrobeats party starters, R&B records, and delightful Pop tunes. Their highly anticipated joint project will be a landmark moment in the careers of both artists and for Afrobeats. The possibility of a joint tour is also an exciting prospect for fans who will get to see the two global sensations dazzle on stage.
Davido is currently on the European leg of his highly successful 5ive Alive Tour, while Chris Brown recently announced a joint tour with American R&B icon Usher. Before the joint project scheduled for late 2027, the duo are expected to release new albums. Davido has shared that his next album will be a return to his Nigerian and African roots, while Chris Brown has already announced May 10 as the release date for his 12th studio album titled ‘brown’.
