The 68th Annual Grammy Awards nominations were announced on Friday, November 7, 2025, and the music world is buzzing. Big international stars like Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, and Lady Gaga were nominated in the top categories: Album, Record, and Song of the Year.
For Africa, and especially Nigeria, the excitement is just as strong. Davido received a nomination in the Best African Music Performance category for his hit song With You featuring Omah Lay. Other Nigerians nominated in the same category include Burna Boy, Wizkid, Tyla, and Ayra Starr.
Although Davido has been nominated for a Grammy four times — three times in 2024 for his album Timeless, the song “Unavailable,” and the performance “Feel,” and again in 2025 for “Sensational” — he has not yet won. Still, his influence in music continues to grow. Recently, he was named a voting member of the Recording Academy, giving him a say in future Grammy Awards.
Davido’s success goes beyond the Grammys. He has won multiple awards, especially the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), showing that he is one of Africa’s biggest music stars. These awards reflect his popularity across the continent and the growing global appeal of Nigerian music.
The Best African Music Performance category is a big opportunity for Davido this year. With several Nigerian artists nominated, including Burna Boy’s Love, Wizkid and Ayra Starr’s Gimme Dat, and Tyla’s PUSH 2 START, the spotlight is firmly on Nigeria.
Winning a Grammy is never easy, and the competition is strong. But with his talent, international recognition, and AFRIMA wins, 2026 could be Davido’s year to finally take home the Grammy. The awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 1, 2026, in Los Angeles, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if Davido will make history.
