The Grammy-winning artist from Nigeria, David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, has stated that he should have been awarded 20 Grammys in the past.
But this time, at the 66th Grammy Awards, Davido was nominated for three different categories. It is a plus for the singer because he had previously been passed over by the Recording Academy
Davido’s album, ‘Timeless’ is nominated in the Best Global Music Album category, while ‘Feel’ and ‘Unavailable’ are nominated in the Best Global Music Performance and Best African Music Performance categories, respectively.
Speaking ahead of the 66th Grammy Awards ceremony in a recent interview with France 24, Davido said he deserves to have won 20 Grammys by now.

According to Davido, he was patient because he believed that God’s timing was the best.
He said, “Shutout to the Recording Academy. This is my first nomination ever. So it’s crazy to get three at once.
“We worked really hard on this album [‘Timeless’]. I was just really patient. So, if you ask me if I deserve Grammys in the past, I already need 20 Grammys. But, like I said, God’s timing is the best. We will see what happens.”
The 66th Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 4, 2024, in Los Angeles.
