He took to his Instagram to react specifically to Nigerian superstar Davido (David Adeleke) missing out on the win in the Best African Music Performance category.
In the category, South African singer Tyla emerged victorious for the second time in the young category’s history, clinching the award with her track “Push 2 Start”.

This follows her inaugural win in 2024 for. “Water”. Tyla beat out a strong list of nominees, including Davido featuring Omah Lay for their heartfelt collaboration “With You” (from Davido’s album 5ive), Burna Boy’s “Love”, Ayra Starr featuring Wizkid on “Gimme Dat”, and Uganda’s Eddy Kenzo with Mehran Matin for “Hope & Love”.

Davido, who was nominated for the fifth time in his career (previous nods including “Unavailable” in 2024 and “Sensational” with Chris Brown in 2025), has yet to secure a Grammy win despite massive global success and consistent critical acclaim for his Afrobeats contributions.
Cubana Chief Priest, a close ally and frequent supporter of Davido, didn’t hold back in his post.
