Davido's Last-Minute Magic: Grammy-Nodded 'With You' Stuns Museum Crowd
Nigerian Afrobeats king Davido turned the Grammy Museum's Clive Davis Theater into a love-soaked party Monday night, December 1, 2025. His 'Spotlight: Davido' gig drew 200 ecstatic fans for an intimate chat and live set.
The star headlined with a full live band, belting out 'With You', his Grammy-nominated gem featuring Omah Lay. The track, a joyful ode to romance, pulsed through the room, leaving attendees swaying and cheering.
In a pre-show interview, Davido spilled juicy creation secrets. "We had about four records to choose from," he revealed. "I changed my verse on 'With You' two days before release. My heart beats when I think about it, 'cause that verse is legendary."
That raw emotion? It stuck, fueling the song's magic. Featuring Omah Lay's silky hook, it snagged a Best African Music Performance nod for the 2026 Grammys, Omah Lay's first-ever.
Davido's 2025? A whirlwind triumph. His album 5IVE, packed with collabs like Victoria Monét and Victony, racked up billions in streams. From Dubai arenas to Abidjan sellouts, he's Afrobeats' unstoppable force.
No scandals shadowed the night, just pure vibes. Yet whispers linger: Did that frantic rewrite spark quiet label tensions? Fans buzz online, hailing it as "song of the year" genius.
As Afrobeats storms global stages, Davido's museum moment cements his throne. With Grammy gold in sight, expect more heart-pounding tales from the man rewriting the rules.
