Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido has kicked off his 2026 music campaign with the release of his first single of the year, “I Know Who I Be,” featuring South African artistes Jazzwrld and GL_Ceejay.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The award-winning singer announced the track on Friday via his social media platforms before it became available on major streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.<\/p>\n

The upbeat record marks Davido’s first collaboration with Jazzwrld and further strengthens the growing musical partnership between Nigerian and South African artistes.<\/p>\n

GL_Ceejay also features on the song, making it another notable cross-border collaboration within the Afrobeats scene.<\/p>\n

The collaboration comes at a time when relations between some Nigerians and South Africans have periodically been strained by recurring xenophobic attacks. While Davido has not stated that the song was intended as a response to those tensions, the partnership highlights the unifying role African music continues to play by bringing artistes from across the continent together.<\/p>\n
