Afrobeats Megastar, Davido, released a new video on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, for the song Kante which was part of his 2023 Timeless album, and thanked his fans for joining him on his ‘Timeless’ journey.
The Unavailable hitmaker, announcing the video, said he was ‘flooded with emotions’ as he moved on to a new chapter in his music journey, and looked forward to a brighter future.
The video gathered 34,000 views in less than an hour after it premiered while the official audio for the song, released a year ago on YouTube, has over eight million views.
He wrote on his timeline: “…This isn’t just a release—it marks the end of our “Timeless” era. From every ticket sold to every city we visited, your love and energy turned every moment into history. We’ve faced everything—from sold-out shows and sleepless nights to the highest of highs and lowest of lows and through it all, God kept us standing!
“To my fans and family – Thank you is not enough. Your support has been the backbone of this era. As we close this chapter, know that you fueled our journey. The “Timeless” era is ending, but our story continues. New chapters, new music, new milestones await and I can’t wait to step into them with you. We about to go bigger than ever,” he added.

The tweet was somewhat about his pending fifth studio album following the remarkable record set by the Timeless project, which came with massive concerts across North America.
Davido, in March this year, gave a hit about the untitled album which he said was 100% complete. Sources close to the singer said the album consists of 15 tracks and features at least six guest artistes.
The 17-track Timeless album was nominated for the 66th Grammy Awards, and described by industry players as one of Davido’s special projects. It topped Spotify’s charts as the 2023′ most streamed album in sub-Saharan Africa.
It will be recalled that Billboard, announcing the best albums of the year 2023, described Timeless as “one of the best bodies of work” in Davido’s career, “calling it “a triumph and a landmark album in the global explosion of Afrobeats.”
The album recorded over 400 million streams on Spotify alone in addition to several other streaming records. A blend of traditional Nigerian rhythms, it had songs like Over Dem, For The Road and Na Money, Unavailable, and No Competition, featuring top performers like Asake, The Cavemen Band, Angélique Kidjo, Fave, Musa Keys, and many others.
