The 68th Annual Grammy Awards held on February 1, 2026 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles delivered another night of global music celebration, with major nominations and wins across multiple categories.

Davido’s 2026 Grammy Nomination

At the 2026 Grammys, Nigerian superstar Davido received a nomination in the Best African Music Performance category for “With You” featuring Omah Lay. The nomination marked another milestone in his international career and further highlighted the global rise of Afrobeats.
Nominees in the category were:

Burna Boy — “Love”
Davido & Omah Lay — “With You”
Ayra Starr feat. Wizkid — “Gimme Dat”
Eddy Kenzo & Mehran Matin — “Hope & Love”
Tyla — “Push 2 Start”

Despite strong fan support and high expectations, Davido lost the award, as Tyla emerged winner with “Push 2 Start.”

Reaction and Context

The result sparked conversations online, especially among Afrobeats fans. While some expressed disappointment, others argued that losing the Grammy does not diminish Davido’s legacy or influence. His consistent nominations show continued recognition from the Recording Academy.

What’s Next for Davido
Although he lost at the 2026 Grammys, Davido remains one of Africa’s most successful and influential artists, with global tours, chart-topping releases, and a loyal fanbase.

Many fans believe a Grammy win is still possible in the future as Afrobeats continues to gain international respect.

What is she singing sef...

Mtcheewww.....wetin concern me...if him win , na him go dey pay my tax wey Tinubu impose on me to increase the flamboyant lifestyle of politicians and their family members?

If care is not taken for a very long time , Burna Boy might remain the only male artist alive in Nigeria that won Grammy…

Reason being that most Nigerian artists are not original in their beats and lyrics, they always try to copy each other. If not with strong connections and foreign collaborations Burna boy wouldn’t have won it either…. Tyla will have another Grammy and Ayra star might win it before davido and Wizkid because of good music…

Good music is different from party bangers played at Nigerian clubs and bars…

Grammy reward originality and good rendition… this is why Davido and wizkid can not win it but will always be nominated to make it go far…

If Davido is capable of making songs like Brymo, he would’ve won his Grammy… I think Brymo needs to start submitting his songs to the organisers for possible nominations…

Omay lay is also capable of winning the Grammy, he makes good songs also

Love your analysis cos it is without emotions!

Even the likes of BNXN need to start submitting. That dude got mad vocals and content.

Brymo, Cavemen, Asa, Wizard Chan will win Grammys before that David of a boy.

I love her push to start song though, that's her only song that I love.

Essence no win Grammy, na sweet fanta dialo wan win am..lol una funny gan.

my advise for Davido he should sign for a popular forigen record music label. Like U said ayra star might win before him cause this Grammy organizers to care about party bangers I suspect say na omalay no make an win cause d organizers go struggle to here his verse. But on a serious note which one come be sweet fanta girl oo I no feel forget o ? He no even explain why he no feel forget for the song the organizers still got confuse for that part too . Am sorry if tuface put more effort he might win a Grammy . My conscience is my property Grammy wickedness is overrated

You have to be creative enough, not shouting and believe you are singing 🤣

malali:
Davido Is the Atiku of Grammys.

I think he is slowly going past his prime. If he is not in a collabo with someone else, he cant make a hit song.

Omah lay was his Peter Obi and they still didnt win. You think he can win it alone ?

na omalay spoil that song if u ask me I ke say U be burna fa

Seems likes there is occultist behind this Grammy awards

Settle the right people, the Grammy is yours

I love Davido to pieces but please don't say Tyla did not deserve to win. Have you even listened to that song?

So Grammy is now a determinant as to whether a song is good? No let oyinbo make you call your own brother monkey. Davido is always amazing and very HARDWORKING and I don't need any proof of this from one outdated award show that lacks the capacity to cover half of what Nigerians produce musically, not to talk of the whole Africa.

Make Grammy go sleep.

WizKid can produce magic when he wants to I believe. Essence was so good that an African category had to be created for subsequent awards, a thing Tyla is now the biggest beneficiary of. Without that African category, Tyla wouldn't even be nominated not to talk less of winning a Grammy. Essence came too early, too too early.

Nigerian musicians are not putting their best foot forward. Davido was supposed to push and promote Kante as his best song, he didn't. He chose unavailable instead. Same thing for Asake and Burna.

But on the real though, Tyla has a media and publishing machinery behind her pushing her songs to every platform. She is winning the next one with her song 'Channel' unless 9Ja guys go get signed to better US record labels and of course do the needful by cooking in the studio.

It’s about the price

Seun who are you submitting the votes results to, I nor trust you

Tyla deserves it more. Next person that deserves it is Ayra Star. Davido and other nominees in the afrobeat category have very poor lyrics, it just beats and noise. Grammy committee are more clinch to lyrical rhythms than noise making

Davido is just a no talent having clout chasing muthafucka!!

He's NEVER gonna win a Grammy!!

NEVER!!!

Guy you no sabi analyse..
Tyla won because she dey sing like
Whitey, even burna wey win, black American men been dey him back.

You think say na anyhow them dey give Grammy??
