Nigerian musician Davido recently spoke about a heartfelt conversation with his father prior to the Grammy Awards ceremony, where he was nominated for three categories.
In the Rolling Stone interview, Davido revealed that his father called to remind him that he is a legend in the African music scene, regardless of the outcome on Grammy’s night.
Despite not winning a Grammy this year, Davido expressed his gratitude for the nominations and the opportunity to have his music recognized on such a prestigious platform. He stated, “Being nominated alone is enough to make me proud of myself. I just want my song to be heard on the radio once or twice in the beginning, but for it to transcend to this is just amazing and God’s doing.”
The artiste praised his father for being one of his biggest fans, sharing that his father’s words of encouragement meant a lot to him. He was nominated in three categories for the 2024 Grammy Awards, and while he did not win in any of them, he expressed his pride in the achievement and the recognition.
Davido was also supported by other Nigerian acts with Grammy nominations, including Burna Boy, Asake, and Ayra Starr, who also did not win in their respective categories. Despite the results, Davido assured fans that he was okay and remains committed to delivering good music.
In an era where African music is increasingly gaining global recognition, Davido’s nominations at the Grammy Awards stand as a testament to the incredible talent and impact of African artists on the international stage. We look forward to seeing the continued success of Davido and other African musicians as they make their mark on the global music scene.
