David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has congratulated Tyla for winning the Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance category.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports South African Tyla beat Davido and other Nigerian music sensations, including Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Olamide and Asake, to the award.
Davido, Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Olamide and Asake all faced a disappointing defeat as they lost in all their nominated categories at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles on Sunday.
“Congratulations on your win @Tyllaaaaaaa ! Big One for africa! Keep soaring,” Davido posted on X, formerly Twitter after Tyla was announced winner.

In a different post, Davido wrote: “I love each and everyone of you!! We Dey game!! We will continue to deliver”.
TNG reports the Best African Music Performance category saw South Africa’s Tyla emerge victorious with her song, “Water”.
Also, in the much-anticipated Best Global Music Album category, Davido and Burna Boy fell short, with Shakti’s “This Moment” clinching the coveted award.
TNG reports Burna Boy received four nominations this year: Best Melodic Rap Performance (“Sittin’ on Top of the World” with 21 Savage); Best Global Music Performance (Alone); Best African Music Performance (City Boys) and Best Global Music Album (I Told Them).
The Nigerian music star, however, made history as the first Afrobeats musician to perform at the 2024 Grammys but failed to notch any award.
Also Davido, who got his first nominations for Best Global Music Album (Timeless); Best African Music Performance (“Unavailable” featuring Musa Keys), and Best Global Music Performance (Feel), failed to win any award.
Both Asake and Olamide’s Amapiano song did not also make it to the winning list after its nomination in the Best African Music performance category.
Also, Ayra Starr’s Rush song was not able to make a winning impression despite her nomination for the inaugural Best Music Performance category.
