who is rooting for davido? Lol those comments are just promos, more like the online campaign ran by apc to fool people into voting for them. Davido can not stand the shoes of the likes of kiss Daniel and bnxn.

This is so surprising that I still can't figure out how it works as one of Nigeria pro musical analyst.

You would see favorite musicians nominated for a top category and it's glaring clear who's winning it due to its work and hit songs trending past and present.

On the D day of the event and the winner is......to someone you didn't even thought would win. Like I just don't understand, how can someone who wins a Grammy the songs are barely played in their own country just because they are streamed in the usa they carry awards to them. Is that the only criteria?

Meanwhile in Nigeria where they are from people barely even know them just one or two hit tracks, meanwhile the real popular musician is left hanging like I still don't understand.

Does this have to do with international features? Votes or nepotism. Or Is it an award made for americans alone? I would really like to know..
If P.Diddy knack you, you go win.

Ask Burna Boy.

Davido's songs are more of like danceable songs which I believe is why people just get to like him atleast and more compared to his personality......I mean, what's life without shaking off, feeling free and catching fun all to things that add spice to the moments........Nothing concern APC for this matter abeg.......and yeah, kizz and bnxn are good

I think they purposely don’t wanna give Davido no matter how hard he tries
Which Davido’s song should have won?

Chris Brown has been denied for long but they could not deny him this time.

It’s about being outstanding! You can be good but not good enough.

If you ask 50 Cent this question, he would tell you that the award is given to musicians that the establishment behind it likes. Dude despised the award after getting several nominations and winning once.

He accused Beyonce' of buying up the conscience of those behind the award. What I know for sure is that if you are a consistent singer in Beyonce's good book, you must win the Grammy.
Is Beyonce the onwer and organiser of the award dude cos grammy have been in existence before Beyonce got into the industry.
Re: How Does Grammy Work? by whippersnapper(m): 11:41am On Feb 03, 2025
Doechii won Grammy for best rap album, Beyonce for best country song.
Kendrick Lamar 5 grammy
I think as a musician you have to be an artist like basquiat, Make music with deep messages, artistry,lyricism,culture shift, not just nyash,boobs,weed and violence.

any award that is given based on the votes of a particular group of people (rather than beicg based on well defined criteria than be repeated at any level to yield the same results) will always be flawed and subject to manipulations.

davido doesn't give american or western audience what they want, his songs are more appealing to africans not the western world, to get the grammy you need to compromise like wiskid and burna boy did, they featured western artist with songs that goes with there audience, when davido features western artist he continues with songs that only africans can feel
Re: How Does Grammy Work? by Eagleways: 12:01pm On Feb 03, 2025
The Grammy Awards are won by a voting process conducted and organized by the Recording Academy, which is composed of music industry professionals.
Below na the way them dey run process

Eligibility and Submission
- Recordings, songs, and music videos released within the eligibility period (usually from October 1 of the previous year to September 30 of the current year) are eligible for consideration.
- Record labels, artists, and other members of the Recording Academy submit entries for consideration.

Screening and Review
- Submitted entries are reviewed to ensure they meet the eligibility requirements.
- Entries are then sorted into the appropriate categories (e.g., Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Song of the Year).

First Round of Voting:
- Members of the Recording Academy vote in their areas of expertise to determine the nominees in each category.
- The votes are tabulated by an independent accounting firm, and the top entries in each category become the official nominees.

Final Round of Voting
- After the nominees are announced, all members of the Recording Academy are eligible to vote in most categories.
- Members vote for their choices in each category, and the votes are again tabulated by an independent accounting firm.

Award Ceremony
- The winners are announced during the Grammy Awards ceremony, which is typically held in late January or early February.
- The winners receive the Grammy Award statuette.

The process is designed to be fair and transparent, with the goal of recognizing excellence in the music industry. But if there are other shenanigans carried out behind closed doors, me no know ooo

so basically what you are saying is any song that you have to stand up and dance for automatically qualifies to win the Grammy right? Lyrics and rhythm means nothing to u? Yes i am angry coz its an insult to mention davido in the conversation of Grammy and frankly if you guys keep doing it yall might ruin davidos music career. The guy has his fan base and that is good enough but to tell himself that he is an overall best is shooting himself in the foot.

Kizdaniel, rema, bnxn and timaya has way better catalog than david!

This answer I've been looking for. You are right. Recently, I watched a video where some Grammy winners were giving shoutout to Beyoncé for being an instrument to winning their Grammy award. Sincerely, there have been a lot of conspiracies to that effect. I believe in every rumour, there is an element of truth.

LEGALSER:
With all due respect to Tems. Sensational by Chris Brown featuring Davido and Lojay should have won that category not Tems "love me jeje" song wey no popular wey no even sweet. Look at sensational the lyrics and the dance moves. They wanted to give it to tems again that was why they allowed Chris win Best R&B Album so they will deny him the second one all targeted at Davido.

Grammy shouldn't be a validation for Nigerian music but truth is that Tens deserved the grammy she won cause her song is the only useful song there. The rest are noise
Re: How Does Grammy Work? by shegz24(m): 2:06pm On Feb 03, 2025
Grammy is not based on the popularity of the song.

There are a few people that sit to decide the winners... just like the Oscars.

Now it is rumoured that some one like Diddy (before his scandal) has influence with a few of these "decision makers" and has helped to nudge some artists towards the award.
