Davido releases new single I Know Who I Be featuring Jazzwrld and GL_Ceejay in 2026

Davido is back on the airwaves. The Afrobeats star has dropped his first single of 2026, "I Know Who I Be," today, June 26.

The Grammy-nominated singer confirmed the release himself, telling fans "my next single I Know Who I Be releases June 26th" while sharing promo photos for the project.

The track features South African duo Jazzwrld and Lesotho artist GL_Ceejay. It is a high-energy, self-empowerment anthem that blends Nigerian Afrobeats with Lesotho and South African sounds — a first-time link-up for Davido and Jazzwrld.

"I Know Who I Be" marks Davido's return to solo releases after a quiet stretch. His last solo drop was "Be There Still" in March 2025, and he recently appeared on TxC's "Nakupenda." In May, he had hinted at taking a temporary break from music, so today's surprise has sparked serious buzz online.

The release follows his performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup countdown concert in Los Angeles, where he teased new music to a global crowd.

Fans can stream "I Know Who I Be" now on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music. With its catchy hook about confidence and identity, the song is already trending across Nigerian and Southern African timelines.

For Davido, the message is clear in the title — he knows exactly who he is, and he's starting 2026 on his own terms.
