This tyla lady has completely obliterated all nigerian top music stars since coming on board the lady is really producing quality music to be sincere.

She is producing quality music unlike nigerian music stars.

When Americans stage an award and at the same time, are the judge over music on African soil. When Davido's "With You" was all over Africa like a national anthem where were the Americans. They were busy with their lives in America.
How do you now want them to be the best judges on a matter they have no knowledge of.

Afrobeats is not Hippop
It is African .

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.

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
You're correct 💯

Burna, Wiz and Ayra lost too!

Why make it look like only Davido lost.
Because everyone knows Davido deserves it more than the three you mentioned this year.

When last did Wizkid release a good song.
Which Burna's song was as successful as Davido's "With You" feat. Omalay
Which Ayra song can you pinpoint to that could contend with David's song.

Throw away hatred and be factual

Since when did Grammy begin to determine what good afrobeat sounds like.
Is like asking them to determine which banga soup is sweeter ?
Re: Davido Lost 2026 Grammys To Tyla by hotseat: 12:35pm On Feb 02
It depends on the criteria for winning the Grammys.

If it comes to party jams and the music of the streets, give it to OBO.

He has continued to give back to back bangers that party-goers and DJs can't resist.

Tyla is good, no doubt but, many people will easily doze off listening to her songs.

Davido may not win their Grammys but, he is an irresistible force in the Nigerian music scene.

Re: Davido Lost 2026 Grammys To Tyla by StoryHaven: 12:57pm On Feb 02
If not for Colonial Inferiority.
What could be making African artist chase Grammy.

Grammy was initially created for American artists. It was later they started including people of other Continents.

If I was as successful as an artist like Davido, Burna or Wiz. I won't take Grammy serious. In fact, I won't attend Grammy. The day they are ready to give me their trumpet award na for house I go dey watch dem. If dey like they can ship it to me, if not they can keep it.

Did you ever hear FELA complain he was not nominated or given Grammy. Was Grammy not existing when he was alive. Was he ever nominated or given the award? Why the Posthumous nonsense.

Until African artists let these American artists know they are not as important as they think they are. You think Fela go dey chase Grammy Upandan. I never see where he attended Grammy sef.
That is called CLASS

Nonsense Talk!
So African artists have to Bowdown and worship the feet of Americans, just because of Grammy?? Terrible!
We are Africans, and we appreciate our afrobeat. If they don't like it, we don't care. The more we appreciate our afrobeat more, the more outsides can appreciate it too...
If don't want to give us Grammy, we don't care!
If only Nigeria artists can boycott it.
Its an American award not an African award! Its nigerians thats forcing themselves on it. Tyla, Tems pack Grammy cos Americans relate to their song. Tyler and tems song are always on the mainstream radio. It was until Rema featured Selena Gomez that his song entered mainstream USA, fireboy ft Ed sheeran too l, same with burna boy. You can only hear davido, wizkid, Omaha lay on carribean stations

Re: Davido Lost 2026 Grammys To Tyla by Afrojuju2017(m): 2:22pm On Feb 02
Just checked out the tyla push to start video and both the music and video are crap. Utterly nonsense.

Now that doesn't mean I have an opinion on Davido's song either but that push to start is totally crap.

The lyrics are basic the song has no direction.

I think a Grammy winning song should be one that has long term hearing possiblity

So for you, a good song is only one with very rich lyrics?
Listen, Music is not all about lyrics.
Those party bangers you referred to being played at Nigerian clubs and bars are good music.
They entertain, which is one of the functions of music.
Do you know that the South African Amapiano is mainly beats with very minimal lyrics?
There are other genres of music with little or no lyrics too.
Have you ever listened to American jazz music or the early Fela songs which can be classified as jazz?
To people like you, that is not good music because it is not filled with rich lyrics.
There is no straight jacket to define what good music is. As long as the listeners enjoy it, it is good music.
