DAVIDO AND MOTHERLAN DROP EXPLOSIVE “5IVE” COLLAB: WHERE STREETWEAR MEETS AFROBEATS EXCELLENCE

Lagos just got louder, and not just with music. As if the weekend wasn’t already seismic with the release of 5IVE, Davido’s highly anticipated new album, the Afrobeats superstar doubled down on the cultural wave by announcing an exclusive clothing collaboration with iconic Nigerian streetwear label, Motherlan. The result? The Davido x Motherlan “5IVE” Collection–a genre-bending, street-ready fashion drop that seamlessly marries music, movement, and the pulse of a generation.

Motherlan, the Lagos-born skate brand known for its rebellious aesthetic and tight-knit community, has long been a tastemaker in West Africa’s underground fashion circuit. Founded in 2016 by skaters and creatives; Leonard Iheagwam, Olaolu Slawn, Obiekwe Paolo and Onyedi Iriele, the label grew from skate parks to global influence, crafting apparel steeped in graphic storytelling and local identity. Their tees, caps, and jackets have become cultural currency for Lagos youth–raw, reflective, and unmistakably bold.

Now, with Davido entering the mix, the collaboration becomes more than just fashion; it becomes a sonic-visual movement. 5IVE, the singer’s latest album, is already dominating conversations, playlists, and party scenes across the continent and diaspora. Known for his ability to balance heartfelt melodies with bangers that ignite dance floors, Davido uses 5IVE to further assert his dominance in the global Afrobeats space. The project dives into themes of love, legacy, loyalty, and lifestyle–all of which spill over into this limited edition capsule with Motherlan.

The “5IVE” Collection tees are not only wearable art pieces, but also symbolic bridges between Nigeria’s vibrant music and streetwear cultures. Bold graphics echo the album’s essence, while the colorways and cuts reflect Motherlan’s signature unfiltered energy. The drop also captures the spirit of Homecoming, a cultural festival both Davido and Motherlan have supported in past years, thus reinforcing the message that this collaboration is rooted in community, creativity, and the elevation of African excellence.

As with anything Davido touches, demand is through the roof. The collection went live via davido.lnk.to/5IVExMOTHERLAN, where fans and fashion heads alike are scrambling to grab a piece of the wave. This isn’t just a merch drop, it’s a movement, one that defines what it means to be young, Black, creative, and unapologetically African in 2025.

With 5IVE already being heralded as one of the biggest musical statements of the year, and Motherlan continuing to stretch the limits of Nigerian streetwear, this collaboration stands as a high point in cultural synergy. It’s not just about what you wear or what you stream, it’s about how you live the lifestyle. And right now, the lifestyle is 5IVE.
