“Ladies and gentlemen, the legend himself… history in the making.” That’s how Davido and Cobhams Asuquo chose to break the news, the two music powerhouses are teaming up for an exciting new chapter. Cobhams, the legendary Nigerian producer and musical genius, will serve as the musical director for Davido’s upcoming 5ive Alive world tour.

Set to kick off on 11 July in Los Angeles, the North American leg of the tour will run through to 20 November, ending in Atlanta.

“The 5ive Alive tour musical director!” Davido says in a studio clip, arms around Cobhams, clearly thrilled. “I’m excited, I’ve always known, but I’m excited,” Cobhams responds with a smile. “It’s an honour and a pleasure,” he adds. “Today is the first time I heard what he’s been working on and I’m blown away… It’s time to get to work and start rehearsals,” Davido says, both of them visibly buzzing with energy.

Sharing the same video on Instagram, Cobhams wrote: “I’m super excited to be MD for the 5ive Alive World Tour. Davido, the superstar with the big heart. We ‘bout to keeel this!”

Davido’s longtime manager, Asa Asika, who recently tied the knot, also shared his enthusiasm: “Now this is what we’re talking about! Well done Davido for taking the genius of Cobhams Asuquo with you on the world tour. Together, you guys will kill it.”

If there’s anyone who can turn the daily chaos of Lagos into a musical moment, it’s Cobhams Asuquo. The award-winning producer and singer returns with “The Traffic Song,” and if you’ve ever found yourself trapped in a sea of honking cars, this one’s definitely for you.

Released alongside a cheeky, well-shot video, the track is a humorous yet honest ode to the madness that is Lagos traffic. With witty lyrics, sharp delivery and an Afropop rhythm, Cobhams captures the sighs, side-eyes and whispered prayers that accompany every go-slow and endless red light.

But beneath the laughter lies a clever bit of social commentary. Only Cobhams could give us a song that blends groove with grievance — a gentle reminder that, even in the most frustrating moments, music always finds a way to ease the tension.

Whether you’re heading to work or surviving your third hour on the road, “The Traffic Song” just might become your new favourite soundtrack.
