In an emotional moment that shocked even his inner circle, Nigerian music icon Davido reportedly broke down in tears during a private listening session for his unreleased 5ive album on Sunday night in Lagos.

According to a close associate who was present, the singer paused midway through a deeply personal track and told the silent room, “This album is a goodbye letter… in case anything ever happens to me.”

The room, filled with industry insiders, family, and a few selected fans, reportedly went completely quiet for minutes. The track in question a raw, piano-led solo is said to reflect on loss, fatherhood, and betrayal.

“I’ve never seen him this vulnerable,” the insider told our correspondent. “Everyone thought this was just another album drop. But the way he talked tonight… it felt like something else.”

This comes days before the official release of 5ive, and fans online are already speculating that Davido may be preparing to step away from music, or even that the album might be his last project for a while.

No official statement has been made by Davido’s team but the buzz around this unexpected emotional outburst is fueling more curiosity than ever.
