Before the Grammy ceremony, Davido had expressed optimism about winning his first Grammy.
Speaking during an interview with Billboard’s Tetris Kelly an entertainment host with a knack for pop culture and music, “Davido said he would go into wild celebration if he clinches the award for the Best African Music Performance category”.
Kelly further reveals, “Davido said an African music category at the premier global music award was long overdue”.
“I feel good being a nominee for the first time and getting three nominations. But the Best African Music Performance category feels long overdue for African music to be celebrated. I’m talking about generations way before mine, Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade… Sunny Ade has been nominated, I believe, but now there is an African category”.
