Davido’s song “With You”, featuring Omah Lay, was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category but lost to South African artist Tyla’s “Push 2 Start”.

The category featured strong Nigerian representation, including Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Wizkid, Omah Lay, and Eddy Kenzo, yet no Nigerian nominee secured the award.

In a post on X, Davido revealed that he initially hesitated to attend the Grammy after-party but was encouraged by Chioma, who advised, “Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. We’re outside.” The singer shared photos from the outing, expressing gratitude for his wife’s wise counsel and support.
