Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, aka Davido, has said he deserves to have won the award in the past.
NEWSUNPLUG recalls that the singer, who was previously snubbed by the Recording Academy, grabbed three nominations at the 66th Grammys.
Speaking ahead of the 66th Grammy Awards ceremony in a recent interview with France 24, Davido said he deserves to have won 20 Grammys by now.
Davido said, “Shutout 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.”
The 66th Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 4, 2024, in Los Angeles.
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.
