In a video shared on Instagram on Friday, the singer was seen dancing to his hit track With You featuring Omah Lay, playfully exclaiming, “Who be that, double sweater,” in jubilation. His post, captioned “All Glory To God! Job Not Done,” quickly went viral, garnering congratulations from fans, fellow artistes, and industry observers across social media platforms.
The track earned a nod in the Best African Music Performance category at the 68th Grammy Awards, scheduled for February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The category is stacked with strong contenders, including Burna Boy’s Love, Wizkid and Ayra Starr’s Gimme Dat, Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin’s Hope and Love, and South African star Tyla’s Push 2 Start.
This nomination marks Davido’s second consecutive Grammy recognition, following his 2025 nominations for Timeless and its singles Unavailable and Feel. Although he did not secure a win last year, his triple nod reinforced his position among Nigeria’s leading artistes driving the country’s global music footprint.
Burna Boy, another powerhouse of African music, also features prominently in this year’s nominations. His song Love is competing with Davido in the Best African Music Performance category, while his album No Sign of Weakness is up for Best Global Music Album. With this, Burna Boy becomes the first African artist to receive seven consecutive Grammy nominations, bringing his career total to 13 nods with a win for Twice As Tall in 2021.
The 68th Grammy Awards, organised by the Recording Academy, will recognise recordings released between September 2024 and August 2025 across 95 categories, covering genres from pop, gospel, and jazz to hip-hop, country, R&B, and global music. Leading this year’s nominations are Kendrick Lamar with nine nods, followed by Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut with seven each. Other notable multiple nominees include Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Leon Thomas, and SZA.
For Nigerian music fans, this year’s ceremony also continues the legacy of artists like Tems, who won the Best African Music Performance award at the 67th Grammys with her hit Love Me Jeje, beating Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Yemi Alade.
Davido’s celebration not only reflects personal achievement but underscores Nigeria’s growing influence on the global music stage, particularly in the Afrobeats and African music genres.
