This Is Why Davido Will Never Win A Grammy. by Infolenka: 2:12pm On Jun 23, 2021
It takes a lot for an African to win a Grammy award. There are very limited categories for African artistes and only a very unique and revolutionary artiste can bag a Grammy. American artistes can get away with singing cliche songs but not an African artistes.


Here are the reasons why Davido will never win a Grammy.


1. He only sings about sex, women and money. Compare that with burna boys songs that bite deep into issues ailing Africans and paints a very artistic representation of the typical Nigerian society; our culture, attitudes and lifestyle, with his music.

2. There is no revolutionary or powerful message in Davido's songs.

3. His songs don't really cut across genres. He only sings the same stale afrobeat songs that thousands of artistes are singing. Only that he does it better.

I think artistes like Fireboy, Rema and Omah lay will win a Grammy before Davido.

I wonder what this guy thinks Rema and Omah Lay sing either. Besides, isn't the Grammy overrated?

I am yet to find a useful Rema's song.

Omah Lay is all about the rhymes, no meaningful lyrics.


Talk about lyrics, talk about Johnny Drille.

Lol. Rema's song was included in FIFA 21 and he did a live performance at the premier. Rema can sing a multitude of genres and is very versatile as an artiste. He is even bigger abroad than he is in Nigeria.

Omah Lay's Lolo video has done better to promote "Africaness" than any video Davido has ever done, and that's saying a lot.

Omah Lay's songs have meaningful lyrics that are delivered in a form that the average Nigerian on the street can relate to. He infuses street talk and slangs into his lyrics and still manages to stay on the theme. That's not easy. That's why a lyrical legend like Tuface came out to say he is Omah lay's biggest fan.
Listen to Hey brother for instance. That's a very deep song with very powerful lyrics. No davido's song can make such emotional impact.

Also, Omah Lay's sound is just different, almost futuristic. Dude is a musical Maverick

I won't want to sound brusquely but believe me, brother, Rema's affiliation with Fifa doesn't mean he sings reasonably. It could possibly be he has a reasonable connection with them.

Omah Lay's tunes are good for the rhymes...in reality, I mean pen-and-paper reality, he sings rubbish.

Don't get me wrong. These singers could offer better but the world doesn't want better; it wants the rubbish so they do it for the money.

Yes you are 100% right...Music should be about message...That is why someone like fela will always remain relevant. He is always passing one message or the other.

What is your point? To win Grammy is not by how good your song is, it is all about branding and good management... Am a burna boy fan but this album twice as tall is rubbish to me apart of 4 tracks which are , way too big, 23, alarm clock, wetin dey sup.. The rest to me is unlike burna.... In conclusion Grammy is overated...

my brother it's a figure of speech, I think what he meant is even if Grammy organizers reduce the criteria to win a Grammy people like Omah Lay and Rema will win it before Davido

Na oversabi dey worry una, the main and primary purpose of music is not to pass any message to anybody but Music's “to express and modulate emotion. Music's primary use is mood control. We sing lullabies to soothe babies – which works very well when language fails.“ all musicians must not be political activist or advisers, you can be a love music artist, feel good musician, etc. and you saying Rema sings rubbish is another clear attestation that you don’t know good songs or na multinational quotes you Dey look for, Rema came to limelight as a 17 years old boy, he needed to identify his audience and give them what they like and that he did perfectly, he has great songs with great lyrics far better than songs from Wizkid and Davido, you can’t tell me you have a better music exposure than Obama that included him on his songs of the year list , he came with his style people were mocking and calling him Indian. But a lot of your favorite artist are copying this Rema style today, eg buju, fireboy etc. and about Omah lay, I just give up for your matter, oma lay has better lyrical proficiency than Wizkid and Davido, he passes his message in a way he infuses street ot’s to his lyrics in a way that makes it acceptable by all ages, what I love most about Omar lay is his deep lyrical proficiency. I am not a fan of these guys and I don’t listen to much of naija jams but these guys are fire, I listen to more of alte sounds from naija jams, tems, tay iwar, odunsi, santi,sdc, boj, etc. who do you listen to ?

Please you people should leave Rema and Omah lay they sing songs our generation can relate to, don't force your boring old people songs on us.

Does it really matter if Davido wins a Grammy? He's bigger than both Wizkid and Burna Boy though I'm not a fan of either Wizkid, Davido or Burna Boy.

But do you know that when someone asks an average Nigerian to mention a Nigerian artiste, 60% percent of the time, Davido's name will be the first from their lips.
