Davido: I've Put in Work to Deserve 20 Grammys

When asked how he feels to be recognised by the Grammys after years of being of one Afrobeats' biggest artists, Davido stated that he feels honoured and with the level of work he put into his fourth album 'Timeless' and throughout his career, he deserves 20 Grammy awards.

Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has said he deserves to have had 20 Grammys already in his career.

The OBO crooner, however, insisted that God’s timing is the best as he prepares for what will be an historic night in his career at the 66th Grammy Awards happening on Monday, February 5.

Recall the singer, who was previously snubbed by the Recording Academy, grabbed three nominations at the 66th Grammys.

Speaking ahead of the awards ceremony in a recent interview with France 24, Davido said he has been patient for the award.

He said, “Shoutout to the Recording Academy. This is my first nomination ever. So it’s crazy 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.”

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.

Davido recently headlined the O2 Arena for his Timeless Concert and the singer set to headline the Accor Arena next before heading for the Grammy ceremony.
