Nigerian superstar Davido is finishing 2024 on a strong note with his new single ‘Funds’ featuring Chike and OdumoduBlvck.

Davido continues to set the pace in Nigerian music.

In another milestone, Davido has set a new record for the highest streaming week for a song across all platforms in Nigeria.

The record is courtesy of his new single ‘Funds’ featuring Chike and OdumoduBlvck which garnered 7.38 million streams in its opening week.

This surpassed the previous record of 7.29 million streams set by Asake ‘MMS’ featuring Wizkid.

‘Funds’ joins Boy Pee, Hyce, and Brown Joel‘s ‘Ogechi’ remix, and Kizz Daniel‘s ‘Twe Twe’ remix featuring Davido to make it his third song in the top 5 list of the highest streaming opening week in Nigeria.

Davido’s ‘Fund’ is a highlife fusion that delivers his quintessential vibrant delivery complimented by Chike’s smooth melodies and OdumoduBlvck’s swaggering flows.

The song reached the summit of the TurnTable Top 100 thus becoming Davido‘s fourth #1 song of 2024 as it follows in the footsteps of ‘Twe Twe’ remix, ‘Ogechi’ remix, and ‘Awuke’ featuring YG Marley.

This new record also restates Davido’s status as one of Nigeria’s leading superstars whose music continues to push the commercial boundaries of Nigerian music.

‘Funds’ is the second single off Davido’s upcoming fifth album ‘Five’ scheduled for release on March 14, 2025.
