Davido noted that he has achieved major milestones, including performing on global stages, selling out arenas, and earning multiple
Grammy nominations over the past three years. Despite not winning, he made it clear that he remains proud of his accomplishments.
According to him, his focus is now shifting away from chasing international validation and more toward embracing his roots.
The singer said the next phase of his music will be deeply rooted in African sounds, rather than blending styles to appeal to Western audiences.
“This part of my career, I have performed everywhere, sold out every arena, I have been to three Grammys in the last three years,” he said.
“The music that is coming next is very Davido, it is very African. We have done it so I am not really looking to really do western sounds.”
Davido also spoke about his strong fan base in South Africa, revealing that a large percentage of the population is familiar with and supportive of his music.
Over the years, he has collaborated with several South African artists and earned multiple certifications in the country.
"Grammy Awards represent global competition": AKSTREETZ, PR executive
In a chat, AKSTREETZ, a PR executive, pointed out that some very famous artists haven’t won Grammys. And argued that not winning doesn’t automatically mean unfair treatment.
"The Grammy Awards are decided by selected academy members who vote for their preferred winners. I wouldn’t say the results prove any systemic bias, it could simply reflect global competition and standards.
"There are many popular music icons who have never won a Grammy, such as Snoop Dogg and R. Kelly. As for Afrobeats, it is still a relatively new category at the Grammys. I wouldn’t say it has been snubbed, as artists like Tyla, Tems, and Burna Boy have received recognition. If the real question is whether Nigerian Afrobeats artists are being fully recognized, that’s a different conversation for another day. I would say the Grammys are not snubbing Afrobeats. In fact, they have helped elevate the genre and establish it as a global force."
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recalls reporting that Davido’s wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke unexpectedly drew attention online after accidentally revealing a private TikTok account with only four followers.
The moment happened during the couple’s ongoing vacation. Davido and Chioma, who were recently spotted enjoying time in Hawaii, appear to still be in full vacation mode as they moved to another location for more relaxation.
In videos shared on Davido’s Instagram Story, the couple were seen having a great time in Honolulu. The lovebirds were enjoying a boat cruise and looked relaxed as they soaked in the beautiful ocean view.
One of the clips captured Davido and Chioma vibing to a song while showing off their playful dance moves. The short dance video quickly caught the attention of fans who noticed something unusual.
The clip appeared to have been recorded using Chioma’s TikTok account, which unintentionally revealed her username on the platform as @chef_chiii.
Curious fans soon searched for the account and discovered that it was set to private. Even more surprising was the follower count; the account reportedly had only four followers at the time the discovery was made.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Davido playfully lamented about a long-standing habit of his wife, Chioma, that he says he has been coping with for 13 years.
In a video shared on his Instagram story, the singer was seen holding a plate of food when Chioma walked up to him with her own plate.
Instead of eating from her own plate, Chioma took a spoon and helped herself to Davido’s meal.
Reacting humorously to the moment, Davido revealed that this was not a new habit.
“She’s been doing this to me for 13 years,” he said, sounding amused as he watched his wife eat from his plate.
The light-hearted video from his mother-in-law's birthday party quickly caught the attention of fans, many of whom found the moment relatable and a reflection of the couple’s closeness.
Just days earlier, Chioma had shared a photo of a bouquet she received from Davido, thanking him for the thoughtful and romantic gesture.
Davido and Chioma recently held their white wedding ceremony on Sunday, August 10, 2025, in Miami.

In his own vows, Davido spoke emotionally about how Chioma saw the real , and still chose to stay. He referred to her as his healer and his calm, adding that God had brought her into his life to show him unconditional love.
