Davido looks back on his Grammys loss and praises the support of his wife Chioma.
After his defeat at the 2026 Grammy Awards, Davido praised his wife Chioma for her unwavering support, which encouraged him to stay positive despite the disappointment.

Nominated for the 2026 Grammy Awards, the Nigerian singer Davido shared his emotion after his defeat in the Best African Musical Performance category, highlighting the crucial role of his wife Chioma in this difficult moment. In a post on Instagram, the artist acknowledged having been deeply affected by his loss and having been tempted not to attend the after-party that followed the ceremony. But Chioma, by his side, encouraged him to stay positive.
“I said: ‘Baby, listen, we’ve already lost, let’s not go.’” She replied: “Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.” We’re out. My partner for life. She supports me, a real pal,” Davido said, referring to his “partner for life and death”. In turn, Chioma reacted in a separate post: “You already know that you are the ideal person,” reaffirming her love and confidence in him. The singer was ultimately defeated by the South African star Tyla at the prestigious ceremony last Sunday.
