Grammy drama aside, we’re diving into the archives to spill the tea on seven other times Davido didn’t win the award he was nominated for.
5 biggets Awards Lost by Davido
1. Grammy Awards
Yep, let’s address the elephant in the room first. Davido lost out on not one, not two, but three Grammy nominations.
Tough break, especially after the hype around “Timeless,” “Unavailable,” and “Feel.”
2. Soul Train Awards
Back in 2014, despite everyone vibing to ‘Aye,’ Davido missed the Soul Train Award for Best International Performance.
Soul Train knows its stuff, and that year, it just wasn’t Davido’s.
3. MOBO Awards
Before the MOBO wins in 2017, Davido had a rough patch. 2014 saw him lose the Best African Act to Fuse ODG.
But hey, redemption came knocking in 2017 with a sweet victory.
4. MTV Europe Music Award
Ever heard “If” and “Fall”? Huge hits, right? Fast forward to 2017, and Davido got his MTV Europe Music Award. But rewind to 2014 – his first MTV EMA nomination for Best African Act didn’t quite land in his lap.
5. World Music Awards
Davido’s up for World’s Best Male Artist, World’s Best Live Act, and World’s Best Entertainer of the Year at the World Music Awards. Exciting, right? Well, not really. He lost in all three categories.
So, there you have it – Davido’s had his fair share of ups and downs in the awards game. Grammy heartbreaks aside, it’s a reminder that in the crazy world of music, not every tune ends with a trophy.
Davido’s still rocking it globally, and let’s be real, awards or no awards, he’s a legend in our playlists! Keep the vibes coming, Davido!
