Davido Brings Yoruba Culture to the Forefront in the “B4 B4” Video Featuring Mayorkun & Fola

Davido is keeping the momentum going for his sixth studio album, Oriadé, with the release of the visual treatment for “B4 B4“. Released on 31 July 2026, the 13-track project—whose title translates from Yoruba as “the crowned head” or destiny—marks a celebration of his 15-year journey in music, weaving themes of identity, legacy, and royal roots.

Alongside heavyweight guest features like Black Sherif, Aya Nakamura, Leon Thomas, and Llona across the album, “B4 B4” sits right at the heart of the record as a reflection on growth, gratitude, and how much life has changed from early beginnings.

For this track, the Afrobeats star reunites with former DMW signee Mayorkun while bringing rising artist Fola into the mix. Directed by Perliks Definition and produced by Nouvelle Films, the music video matches that message of reflection by diving deep into Yoruba cultural heritage. The visual opens in a sunlit courtyard surrounded by brick architecture, where women in traditional indigo Adire attire prepare food and grind peppers in wooden mortars while drummers and traditional dancers set a lively rhythm.

The narrative moves into a grand palace setup featuring clay walls, woven mats, and hanging fabrics, serving up a strong fashion moment to match the scenery. Davido steps out in an oversized blue-and-white tie-dye top over white trousers, while Mayorkun delivers his verse in a black suit topped with a green textured jacket. Combining local traditions, high fashion, and great musical chemistry, the video gives fans plenty to talk about as Oriadé continues its run.
