According to TVC News, Davido has returned to the Grammy spotlight with a nomination for Best African Music Performance for his collaboration with Omah Lay, “With You.” This marks Davido’s fifth career nomination and Omah Lay’s first, a milestone for the younger artist who has seen a meteoric rise over the last year. The track was one of the most streamed Afrobeats songs of 2025, praised for its melodic depth and emotional resonance.
NewsNow Nigeria confirmed the news, quoting fans on social media: “Baddest for life! Davido finally getting the recognition his consistency deserves.” BellaNaija also covered the story, stating: “The collaboration represents a milestone for Omah Lay… his melodic control and emotional delivery received widespread praise.”
Echotitbits take:
This nomination is a huge win for Omah Lay, who has often been the “underdog” of the big Afrobeats stars. For Davido, it’s a chance to finally clinch the trophy that has eluded him despite his massive global influence. Their chemistry on this track was undeniable, and it highlights a shift toward more soulful, mid-tempo Afrobeats gaining Academy favor.
