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 […]
