Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, said that he deserves to have already clinched 20 Grammy Awards throughout his career.
Davido, who was previously overlooked by the Recording Academy, grabbed three nominations at the 66th Grammy Awards scheduled for Monday, February 5.
Speaking with France 24, the singer acknowledged the Recording Academy, expressing gratitude for his first-ever nomination, stressing that he has been patiently waiting for this recognition.
He insisted that God’s timing is the best as he prepares for what will be a historic night in his career.
Davido 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, with ‘Feel’ and ‘Unavailable’ earning nominations in the Best Global Music Performance and Best African Music Performance categories, respectively.
KanyiDaily recalls that 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.
