In a post shared by Punch Newspapers, Afrobeat superstar Davido has recounted the touching words of encouragement he received from his wife, Chioma, following his recent Grammy loss. Despite the disappointment of not securing a win at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Davido revealed that Chioma’s resilience and perspective were what motivated him to attend the high-profile after-parties.
The singer noted that his wife reminded him of his global impact and the love of his fans, which far outweighs a single trophy. This public display of affection and mutual support has further solidified the couple’s status as a fan favorite in the Nigerian entertainment scene, especially after a taxing award season.
Davido’s vulnerability about the loss has sparked a wider conversation about the Grammys’ relationship with Afrobeats. While he remains optimistic, the singer is clearly leaning into his “30BG” family and personal support system to navigate the mixed emotions following the Los Angeles ceremony.
* Daily Post Nigeria: “Davido reveals his hit song ‘With You’ almost didn’t make his album, but Chioma’s words after the Grammy loss were what truly ‘made them attend the after-party.'”
* The Nation: “Fans react to Davido’s Grammy loss as the singer credits Chioma for keeping his spirits high during the LA trip.”
Echotitbits take:
Davido’s decision to share this intimate moment is a strategic PR move to control the “loser” narrative. By pivoting the focus to his marriage and internal strength, he maintains his “001” status and keeps the fans emotionally invested. Watch for a potential “revenge” single or a new album announcement as he channels this energy back into the studio.
