As the 68th Grammy Awards unfold live from Los Angeles on February 1, hosted by Trevor Noah, all eyes are on the Best African Music Performance category. Nigerian superstar Davido stands poised for a breakthrough moment with his hit "With You" featuring Omah Lay, facing fierce competition from fellow Nigerians Burna Boy ("Love"), Ayra Starr ("Gimme Dat" featuring Wizkid), Uganda's Eddy Kenzo with Mehran Matin ("Hope & Love"), and others like South Africa's Tyla.
This marks Davido's fifth Grammy nomination overall, yet a first win remains elusive. His loyal 30BG fanbase has fueled the excitement, sharing edited victory photos and viral hype ahead of the ceremony. Close friend Cubana Chief Priest amplified the buzz with bold claims of "internal confirmation" that Davido tops the winners' list, sparking widespread speculation and unverified leak rumors across social media.
The playful tension with Wizkid's fans adds extra spice to the night, turning the category into a showcase of Afrobeats' global dominance. Betting odds vary, but Davido's consistent chart success and emotional resonance in "With You" position him strongly in this landmark category, which highlights Africa's rising force in music.
A victory would not only crown Davido's persistence but underscore how Afrobeats continues to reshape the international stage. As votes finalize, the continent holds its breath, could this finally be OBO's moment?
