I think they do not want to give Davido the Grammys – Social commentator, Oyemmyke says after Davido lost out at the 2026 Grammys

Social commentator, Oyemmyke, is of the opinion that there is a deliberate attempt not to give Grammy Awards to Nigerian singer, Davido.

In a video he released on social media, Oyemmyke questioned why it was Tyla who won the ‘Best African Music Performance’ award at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, held on February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. 

Davido, Burna Boy and AyraStarr were part of the nominees in the category and Oyemmyke felt Davido should have won that category.

Tyla clinched the prize for her song Push 2 Start, marking her second win in the category. She previously won the same award in the inaugural 2024 edition for her global hit Water, becoming the first artiste to win the title twice since the category was introduced.

Reacting to Davido losing to Tyla, Oyemmyke said

‘’Tyla again?!! Don’t get me wrong, I think Tyla is a fantastic musician but not last year. Davido’s ‘With you’ owned last year. That was the song of the summer all around the world. At this point, they do not want to give Davido the Grammys. Sentiments aside. I think he needs to give it up because that’s Davido’s biggest record in the last seven years and that’s because Davido has records but with you? This would have been a great opportunity for Omahlay and even if Davido didn’t get it at all, I thought this would have been AyraStarr’s turn. 

At the end of the day its our fault because we put too much respect on this Grammys”
