Reactions As Davido Submit His Name To The Grammys As Best New Artist
Davido has found himself in the spotlight once again, and this time it’s due to his recent submission of his album to the Grammy Awards. However, the eagle-eyed netizens couldn’t help but notice a rather surprising detail in his submissions. Davido had listed himself as a nominee for the Best New Artist category, a move that has raised many eyebrows. This choice is particularly striking because Davido is far from being a newcomer in the music industry, having made his mark for quite some time.
The buzz surrounding this unconventional Grammy submission has captivated the attention of music enthusiasts and critics alike.
In 2023, Davido treated fans to his remarkable “Timeless Album,” a release that garnered widespread acclaim and positioned him as one of Nigeria’s leading artists. Several tracks from the album achieved global recognition, further solidifying his status in the international music scene.
But Davido is not the only Nigerian artist vying for Grammy recognition. In the same Grammy race, we also have Burna Boy, who submitted his own album for consideration.
The reactions from netizens have been a mix of surprise, skepticism, and curiosity. The decision to label himself as a “Best New Artist” nominee certainly raises questions, but it also underscores the lengths to which artists are willing to go to achieve their Grammy aspirations.
