Davido Makes History With Grammy Membership

Afrobeats superstar Davido has officially joined the Recording Academy, the body behind the Grammy Awards.

The news was confirmed online and has since sparked excitement and heated debate among fans.

The Recording Academy is responsible for recognizing and celebrating the biggest talents in the global music industry.

The 33-year-old singer, who earned three nominations in 2024 for his album Timeless but did not win, becomes part of over 10,000 global music professionals voting across 94 categories.

By becoming a member, Davido now has the right to vote in the Grammy Awards, helping shape the future of international music recognition.

Fans wasted no time in reacting. One user, @Sphinxtee, described it as a milestone bigger than winning the trophy itself, saying: “To be honest, this is bigger than receiving the award itself.” Another, @Ifunayadelilah, joked: “This guy no go gree vote for Wizkid if this news is actually true.”

Others took playful swipes. @bornobong wrote: “As he no fit win, make he use that one hold body.” Meanwhile, @lexmelvis showed optimism: “Soon they will finally give him a Grammy.”

For many, Davido’s induction is proof of Afrobeats’ growing influence on the global stage.

The move also highlights how Nigerian artists are not only making music that travels worldwide but also taking part in decision-making at the highest level of the industry.
