Nigerian musician Davido received words of encouragement from controversial cleric Prophet Odumeje following his recent Grammy award snub.
In a viral video from a recent church sermon, Pastor Odumeje spoke directly about Davido, urging him not to let the setback affect his drive or confidence. He said:

"You don't allow somebody call to come and begin to use it to quench the fire of your joy. Go out there, get more inspiration to shock the world with another new music. Don't allow people to demoralise you or your quality."
The pastor also downplayed the significance of the Grammy Awards. In his words:
"What is Grammy? Who knows Grammy? Grammy don't make us to know you, Davido. We know you as a good singer. That is why we love you, not Grammy."
He encouraged the musician to focus on his talent and the place God has put him, rather than external recognition:
"When God lift you up, maintain that place that God keep you. Don't allow people to carry their wickedness to distract you. You are a very good singer."
The sermon, which has since gone viral on social media, has sparked conversations online about celebrity, recognition, and resilience in the face of public disappointment.
