Afrobeats superstar Davido has finally spoken out following his loss at the 68th Grammy Awards, offering fans a rare glimpse into the emotions that followed the high-profile ceremony and explaining why he still chose to attend the event.
In what has become a moment of honesty mixed with quiet strength, the singer addressed the outcome of the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, where expectations were high but the coveted trophy slipped away.
Rather than dwell on disappointment, Davido turned the moment into a lesson on grace, leaning on the support of his wife, Chioma Rowland.
Taking to Instagram after the ceremony, the award-winning artist shared a set of elegant photos of himself and Chioma, both dressed in regal outfits befitting the global stage. While the images drew admiration, it was Davido’s heartfelt caption that truly resonated with fans.
The “Timeless” hitmaker revealed that he briefly considered boycotting the ceremony altogether after learning he would not be winning on the night. “I said baby listen we lost let’s not go,” Davido wrote, opening up about his initial reaction.
He then highlighted Chioma’s calming influence, quoting her words that quickly changed his mindset: “She said be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. We outside.”
The post quickly went viral, drawing an outpouring of praise from fans, members of the 30BG fanbase, and fellow musicians, many of whom applauded Chioma’s wisdom and Davido’s openness in sharing such a personal moment.
By choosing to attend the ceremony despite the loss, Davido once again underscored his role as one of Afrobeats’ leading figures on the global stage.
For many observers, the moment went beyond awards, serving as a reminder that celebrating African music and its growing influence sometimes matters more than individual trophies.
