Controversial clergyman, Chukwuemeka Odumeje, has offered words of encouragement to singer Davido following his loss at the 2026 Grammy Awards.

 

 

 

At the 2026 Grammy Awards which held in Los Angele, USA on Sunday, February 1, South African singer Tyla won the Best African Music Performance award, surpassing Nigerian stars Davido, Burna Boy, and Ayra Starr in the category.

 

 

 

Many Nigerians felt disappointed as they rooted for Davido to win the award.

 

 

 

Reacting to the development, Odumeje while speaking in his church, described Davido as a “generational award,” and that his achievements as a singer goes beyond formal recognition.

 

 

 

 

 

“There is one of our brothers that I love so much. That is a very great musician, and that is Davido. You are already a generational award, awarded a lot of awards.

 

There is no award that you will receive now that means anything. You have already been awarded any award you need. Your life is an award. Your step is an award.”

 

 

 

Odumeje urged the singer not to be discouraged by the loss, advising him to continue producing music that inspires and shocks the world.
