Afrobeats superstar Davido has revealed that he initially had no plans to include “B4B4” on his latest album because he did not like the song at first, but his logistics manager, Israel DMW, convinced him to keep it.
Speaking during an Instagram Live session, the singer disclosed that Israel DMW persuaded him to add the track, a decision that has now become one of the most talked-about moments surrounding the album.
“B4B4” is one of the 13 tracks on Davido’s sixth studio album, Oriadé, which was released on July 31, 2026. The project, which followed his 2025 album 5ive, features collaborations with several Nigerian and international artistes.
According to Davido, “I didn’t wanted to add B4B4 on my album cuz I didn’t really like it, Israel DMW asked me to do it.”
The revelation has sparked reactions online, with many fans praising Israel DMW for encouraging Davido to include the song, while others described it as one of the album’s standout tracks.
