According to reports, the artist, who had previously been passed over by the Recording Academy, received three nominations for the 66th Grammy Awards.
In a recent interview with France 24, Davido stated that he should have won 20 Grammys by now.
Davido stated, “Shutout to the Recording Academy. This is my first-ever nomination. So it’s insane to get three at once.
“We worked really hard on this album [‘Timeless’]. I was just really patient. So, if you ask me if I deserve Grammys in the past, I already need 20 Grammys. But, like I said, God’s timing is the best. We will see what happens.”
The 66th Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 4, 2024, in Los Angeles.
Davido’s album ‘Timeless’ is nominated in the Best Global Music Album category, while ‘Feel’ and ‘Unavailable’ are nominated in the Best Global Music Performance and Best African Music Performance categories, respectively
