Renowned Nigerian singer, Davido, has shared his sentiments about his recent Grammy loss, emphasizing that the mere act of being nominated fills him with pride and satisfaction.

Davido, an influential figure in the Afrobeats genre, had three nominations at the 66th Grammy Awards but did not secure a win. Despite this, he remains proud of his achievements.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Davido revealed a heartening message from his father, Deji Adeleke.

He said, “Being nominated alone is enough to make me proud of myself. I just want my song to be heard on the radio once or twice in the beginning, but for it to transcend to this is just amazing and God’s doing.”

He further shared his father’s supportive words, “I was on the phone with my dad yesterday and he was like ‘Son no matter what happens, you are still a legend.’ So yeah, he is a big fan.”
