Dammy Krane Sparks Feud Rumors with ‘5ive’ EP Drop Same Day as Davido’s ‘5’

Afropop artist Dammy Krane, born Oyindamola Johnson Emmanuel, has stirred online chatter with the announcement of his upcoming EP 5ive, set to release on April 18—the exact same day Davido drops his fifth studio album, also titled 5.

The timing and title resemblance have fueled speculation that Dammy Krane is taking another dig at the Unavailable singer, reigniting a long-standing rift that escalated in 2024 when Dammy Krane publicly accused Davido of unpaid debts—a situation that eventually led to Dammy’s brief arrest.

Adding to the buzz, Dammy Krane posted a teaser trailer for his 5ive EP, which many interpret as laced with subliminal shots. He captioned it:

“5IVE trailer dragging the opps in the sack. Pre-save 5IVE by DAMMY KRANE. DAMMY KRANE – MORE MONEY NO PROBLEM (ASE) Out now.”

With fans already comparing the two releases and debating motives, April 18 is shaping up to be more than just a music drop—it’s the latest chapter in one of Afrobeats’ most controversial rivalries.
