Nigerian artist Davido took to Instagram to congratulate his co-nominee Tyla on winning the Best African Music Performance award, a category for which he was also nominated. He wrote a brief letter emphasizing that Tyla’s win was significant for Africa and that she should continue to fly.
Tyla beat Davido, Burna Boy, and Asake for Best African Music Performance at the Grammys.
This was Davido’s first nomination, as was Tyla’s, but she got there first. Even though his aspirations were dashed, Davido took the opportunity to congratulate Tyla’s victory.
Davido not only lost the Best African Music Performance category at the Grammys 2024 but also two other categories for which he was nominated. Despite Davido’s disappointing Grammy loss, it’s worth noting that his nomination was significant.
Aside from that, Davido has an incredible trophy collection, ranging from the Headies Awards to various lesser International awards. Davido’s discography is also impressive, as he has had many number-one hits in Nigeria and other countries.
He has collaborated with several foreign artists, including Young Thug, Nicki Minaj, and many others. It is undisputed that Davido is one of the most reverenced singers of his time, making him a living legend.
