Davido’s Old Post About His Wish To Win Grammy Award Reemerges Online

• Tems won the Best African Music Performance category, beating out Chris Brown’s Sensational featuring Davido.

• As of the release of this report, Davido is the only member of the main three music industry who does not have a Grammy to his name.

David Adeleke Davido, a Nigerian music singer, continued to face criticism on social media hours after the 67th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, USA.

Tems won the Best African Music Performance category, beating out Chris Brown’s Sensational featuring Davido and Lojay, Burna Boy’s Higher, and Asake’s MMS with Wizkid, among others.

As of the release of this report, Davido is the only member of the main three music industry who does not have a Grammy to his name, either as an individual or through collaboration.

The DMW label boss also received three nominations for the 66th Grammy Awards but did not win any.

Amid the criticism, some rival fans dug up an old tweet by the musician in which he professed his desire to win a Grammy.

A short investigation revealed that the tweet was shared on X, formerly Twitter, in March 2011, 14 years since it was originally written.

As of the time Davido shared the tweet, he was signed to the HKN label and was also considering bagging a Bachelor’s Degree. “Jus signed up for summer school TIME 2 GET THIS GRAMMY AND BACHELORS DEGREE AT THE SAME TIME LEGGO!!!! HKN WE DO THIS!!!!” Davido wrote.
