In a post on his X handle on Monday, Samklef claimed that Davido’s colleagues, Burna Boy and Wizkid, will be laughing at the singer for his loss.
Controversial Nigerian music producer, Samklef has taken a swipe at Davido, following his defeat at the 67th Grammy Awards.
Davido failed to clinch any award at the just concluded Grammys despite receiving six nominations from the Recording Academy.
In a post on his X handle on Monday, Samklef claimed that Davido’s colleagues, Burna Boy and Wizkid, will be laughing at the singer for his loss.
He applauded singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, for emerging winner of the Best African Music Performance at the 2025 Grammys, stressing that money cannot save anyone who does not have real talent.
He wrote, “Please check on 30BGs o! 😂 Thank God say dem no dey bribe for Grammy—if not, we for no hear word today!
“At the end of the day, money can’t save you if you don’t have real talent. Tems won because she’s truly gifted. Now she has the house, the private jet, the expensive cars—but no unnecessary show-off. Just pure talent. Burnaboy and Wizkid go Dey one place just Dey laff 😂 he wan win Grammy!”
Tems won the Best African Music Performance award for her song ‘Love Me Jeje’ at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.
She clinched the award, beating Yemi Alade, Asake & Wizkid, Davido & Lojay, and Burna Boy, who were also nominated in the same category.
