Joeboy says Tyla deserved Grammy win over Nigerians

Nigerian singer Joeboy has said that South African star Tyla deserved her Grammy Award win ahead of the Nigerian artists she was nominated with. Tyla won the Grammy for Best African Music Performance with her global hit song “Water,” beating Nigerian nominees including Davido, Burna Boy and Ayra Starr. The result sparked debate among many Nigerian fans, who felt their artists were unfairly overlooked. In a recent interview, Joeboy explained that he was personally rooting for Davido to win but still believes Tyla earned the award on merit.

Davido shares wife Chioma’s inspiring words after Grammy loss

Award winning singer Davido has shared the uplifting words his wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke, used to encourage him after he missed out on a Grammy win for the second time at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.​ Davido’s hit “With You,” featuring Omah Lay, was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category but lost to South African star Tyla’s “Push 2 Start.” The category was heavily stacked with Nigerian stars, including Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Wizkid, Omah Lay and Eddy Kenzo, yet none of them clinched the award.​ In a post on X, Davido revealed he initially did not feel like attending the post awards after party following the defeat.

GRAMMY 2026: I once thought Davido didn’t like me – Omah Lay

Afrobeats star Omah Lay has revealed that he once believed Davido did not like him, a misconception later cleared up before they created their Grammy‑nominated song “With You.” Speaking on the GRAMMY 2026 red carpet with OkayAfrica, Omah Lay said his perception changed after he watched a clip of Davido reacting warmly to his music at a time when he was going through a difficult period personally. “I was in the house, really, and I was going through it when I saw it, and I lost my mind,” he recalled. He admitted he had previously assumed there was tension between them. “It was the fact that I didn’t know Davido was like that. I thought we had a beef. I thought he didn’t like me,” he said. According to Omah Lay, once they finally connected, the misunderstanding disappeared quickly. “It […]
