When Davido’s Five Alive Tour made its Northern debut in Yola, it wasn’t just another concert; it was
a cultural moment that inspired a generation of young talents.

Among those deeply moved was 5RANK
(pronounced Frank),an Adamawa-born artist whose blend of Afrobeat, Hip Hop, and R&B has been gaining quiet traction since officially starting his musical journey in 2020.

For 5RANK, the show wasn’t just entertainment , it was personal. “The show is a dream come true for me because I’ve always stan Davido throughout my career. I was so happy and sang all the songs word for word with him,” he said with excitement. Although he didn’t perform this time, 5RANK took on a media role, helping amplify the event and showing that true growth sometimes comes from being part of something bigger.

“It was great, but I played the role of media more this time… I might not have performed, but it’s all part of growth for me,” he noted.

The artist expressed deep appreciation for Davido choosing Adamawa State as a stop for the Northern leg of the tour — a move that brought unprecedented visibility to the region’s entertainment scene.

“We really appreciate how he chose Adamawa for his northern debut concert, and we’re wishing to have him another time,” he added.

For 5RANK, the night was more than just music — it was motivation. “It’s a whole experience, and I felt like I’m going somewhere too,” he said with optimism.

Looking ahead, 5RANK hinted at his upcoming single titled ‘Intro,’ promising fans a sound that reflects both his journey and his hunger for more.

“I love every fan of mine and I’m assuring them that I’m coming back this December with a new song,” he affirmed.

As the Five Alive Tour continues to ripple through Northern Nigeria, voices like 5RANK’s remind us that the next big stars are not waiting to be discovered; they’re already here, creating, learning, and preparing for the world stage.
