Nigerian singer Davido has broken his silence following his loss at the 2026 Grammy Awards held on Sunday, February 1.

Daily voice reports that his song featuring Omah Lay, With You was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category, but he did not take home the prize.

After the awards night, the singer shared photos from the event on his Instagram page, with the caption, “Oluwa Dey My Side.” South African star Tyla had clinched the prize for Best African Music Performance category for her song Push 2 Start.

The category featured several Nigerian artistes, including Burna Boy with Love, Davido with With You featuring Omah Lay, and the joint entry from Ayra Starr and Wizkid titled Gimme Dat. Also nominated was Hope & Love by Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin. Despite the heavy Nigerian presence, none of the country’s nominees emerged victorious.

The Best African Music Performance category was created to give African sounds wider global attention, and this year’s shortlist once again reflected Nigeria’s strong impact in the music space, with three Nigerian acts making the final list.

Tyla’s latest win makes her a two-time recipient of the Best African Music Performance award. She first claimed the honor in 2024 with Water, becoming the first artiste to win the category. Tyla, 24, is a South African singer and songwriter known for blending amapiano, pop and R&B sounds.

Kendrick Lamar swept the rap categories at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, winning all four. His album ‘GNX’ won the Best Rap Album, while his collaboration with Lefty Gunplay, ‘TV Off’ clinched the Best Rap Song.

His SZA-assisted hit, ‘Luther’ won the Best Melodic Rap Performance while his collaboration with Clipse, ‘Chains & Whips’ took home the Best Rap Performance award.

‘Luther’ also won the highly coveted Record of the Year award.

After sweeping the rap categories and also winning the Record of the Year at this year’s year Grammys, Lamar surpassed Jay-Z (25) as the most-awarded rapper, with 27 Grammies.

Meanwhile, Olivia Dean won the Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammy, beating stiff competition from Leon Thomas, KATSEYE, Addison Rae, and Lola Young.

Dean continued the streak of only women winning Best New Artist at the Grammys since 2017.

Billie Eilish won the Song of the Year for ‘Wildflower’ for a record time.

Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny’s ‘Debí Tirar Más Fotos’ makes history as the first Spanish language ‘Album of the Year’ winner in Grammys history.

Pharrell Williams received the Dr. Dre Global Impact award at this year’s Grammys.

Beyoncé remains the most awarded artiste in Grammy history, with 35 wins.

U.S. President Donald Trump has criticised the Grammy Awards, describing the ceremony as “virtually unwatchable” and accusing its host, Trevor Noah, of making a false and defamatory statement about him.

In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump said the Grammys were among the “worst” award shows and claimed broadcaster CBS was “lucky” to no longer air what he called “garbage.”

He also took aim at Noah’s performance as host, comparing him unfavorably to late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Trump’s comments followed a remark by Noah during the awards ceremony in which he referenced Trump and former President Bill Clinton in relation to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump strongly denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island or being associated with it in any way.

“I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close,” Trump wrote, insisting that he had never previously been accused of such by the media.

He said Noah’s comment was incorrect and defamatory.

The president warned that he was considering legal action against Noah, calling him a “pathetic” and “talentless” master of ceremonies, and suggested his lawyers could pursue a lawsuit for damages.
