Omah Lay Says He Doesn’t Care About Grammys But Wants Davido to Win One
Afrobeats sensation Omah Lay has sparked online conversations after stating that while he isn’t personally chasing a Grammy Award, he sincerely wishes to see Davido win one. The “Holy Ghost” crooner made this known during a recent interview where he opened up about his views on recognition, awards, and the global success of Nigerian music.
According to Omah Lay, success goes beyond trophies and accolades. He emphasized that his main focus is creating timeless music that connects with people emotionally, rather than aiming for validation from international award bodies. However, he expressed a deep admiration for Davido’s contributions to the global rise of Afrobeats, saying the “Unavailable” hitmaker deserves a Grammy for his hard work, consistency, and influence in putting Nigeria on the world stage.
Fans have since praised Omah Lay’s humility and respect for fellow artists, describing his statement as a reflection of unity and mutual support within the Nigerian music industry. With the Grammy Awards 2025 nominations approaching, Davido’s fans — known as the 30BG — are hopeful that their favorite star will finally bring home the golden gramophone, further solidifying his status as one of Africa’s most impactful artists.
