Following the loss of all three Grammy Awards nominations at the 2024 edition of the event, superstar Afrobeat singer Davido Adeleke has shared his thoughts.
Davido was nominated in three categories at the 66th annual Grammy Awards, including ‘Timeless’ for Best Global Music Album, ‘Feel’ for Best Global Music Performance, and ‘Unavailable’ for Best African Music Performance, making it his best chance of winning a Grammy.
However, he did not win in any of the categories. Tyla from South Africa won Best African Music Performance, Shakti from India took Best Global Music Album, and Best Global Music Performance was won by the American directors, Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer & Zakir Hussain Featuring Rakesh Chaurasia.
In response to the loss, Davido took to the X platform to acknowledge Tyla’s win, attributing it as a collective victory for Africa.
In the post, he wrote, “Congratulations on your win @Tyllaaaaaaa! Big One for Africa! Keep soaring! 🔥⭐️.”
Davido also reposted the snapshot of the post on his Instagram story with his over 20 million fan base.
Fans and well-wishers have since flooded Davido’s page to comfort the singer for the loss while many assured him of their support irrespective of the Grammy Awards.
