Davido Bags Three 2024 GRAMMY Awards Nomination
A standard-bearer of Afrobeats, Davido celebrates three nominations at the 2024 GRAMMYs: Best Global Music Performance, Best Global Music Album and Best African Music Performance.
Davido has dedicated his life to his African roots. From paying tribute to the Yoruba people on his debut album, 2012’s Omo Baba Olowo, to hosting the inaugural A.W.A.Y Festival last November, the Nigerian-American singer/songwriter/producer’s pride is undeniable.
That’s part of what makes Davido’s first-ever GRAMMY nominations so special. Not only is he nominated for three golden gramphones at the 2024 GRAMMYs, but he’s nominated for the first-ever Category honoring African music.
Along with Davido, the Best African Music Performance Category features some of the continent’s best and brightest talent, Ayra Starr, Tyla, Burna Boy, and ASAKE & Olamide. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Davido’s nominated track is also his biggest to date: “UNAVAILABLE,” his thumping hit with South African producer Musa Keys that reached No. 3 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart in 2023.
“It feels incredible to be a part of history,” Davido expresses to GRAMMY.com over email. “Hopefully there are more African categories added in the future.”
For now, African music is also honored in the Best Global Music Album and Best Global Music Performance Categories — both of which feature Davido’s work. His acclaimed fourth album, Timeless, is nominated in the former Category, while sultry album cut “FEEL” is in the latter.
