While he was unlucky to go home with any award, his nominations sparked questions and answers about global music recognition and left fans wondering
Why Davido Didn’t Win a Grammy?
Here’s a closer look at the potential reasons why Davido didn’t win a Grammy
Strong Competition: The “Best Global Music Album,” “Best Global Music Performance,” and “Best African Music Performance” categories were full with talented artists, like Burna Boy, a fellow Nigerian big artist, won Best Global Music Performance, showcasing the high level of competition Davido faced.
Grammy Voting Process: The Recording Academy’s voting process is hard and full of secrecy. Genre representation, artistic excellence, and commercial success all play a role, making it difficult to predict winners definitively.
Focus on “Timeless” Album: While naturally aiming for recognition, Davido strongly emphasized that “Timeless” wasn’t created mainly for awards. He prioritized creative freedom and expressing himself authentically, which resonates with his massive fan base.
Actual Nominations: Irrespective of the outcome, Davido’s nominations were a significant moment for Afrobeats and African music on the global stage. They highlighted the genre’s growing influence and paved ways for future recognition.
Looking Forward: Davido’s talent, dedication, and ever-evolving sound, his Grammy journey might just be beginning. His nominations have sparked conversations and make way for wider recognition of Afrobeats, potentially influencing future wins not just for him, but for the entire genre.
Congratulations to the 2024 Grammy winners, and more grease to their elbow’s to feed the world with more good music.
