However, the award went to Tyla, making it Davido’s third consecutive Grammy nomination without a win. The result quickly became a trending topic across Nigerian social media platforms, as many fans had strongly believed Davido would finally clinch the prestigious award.
Davido attended the ceremony with his wife, siblings, managers, and close family members, showing how confident and hopeful his camp was ahead of the announcement.
Reacting to the outcome, Tunde Ednut took to social media to share his thoughts on why Davido truly deserves a Grammy Award. According to the blogger, Davido’s consistency, global influence, and contribution to Afrobeatscannot be ignored.
Tunde Ednut’s comments came after an influencer identified as @jj_exclusive1 suggested that some fans only wanted Davido to win the Grammy to mock Wizkid FC.
Responding to this claim, Tunde Ednut dismissed the idea, insisting that Davido’s support goes beyond fan rivalry. He argued that Davido has worked hard for years, carried Nigerian music to the global stage, and has remained relevant without breaks.
“This thing is not about Wizkid FC or fan wars. Davido has earned it. His work speaks for him,” Tunde Ednut reportedly said.
Despite the loss, many fans have continued to praise Davido for his sportsmanship and resilience, expressing hope that a Grammy win will eventually come.
