Davido lost out to South African star Tyla in the Best African Music Performance category at the 2026 Grammy Awards Ceremony on Sunday.
Pascal Okechukwu, the Nigerian socialite, who is popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has claimed that singer Davido’s repeated losses at the Grammys are a deliberate effort to pressure him into complying with certain white music executives’ demands, which he described as encouraging “demonic” practices.
