Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, famously known as Davido, says he would be ecstatic if he wins the maiden Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammy Award Ceremony tonight.
It was reported that Davido’s ‘Unavailable’ featuring Musa Keys is among the five songs nominated in the maiden Best African Music Performance category at the 66th Grammys.
Speaking in an interview with Billboard at the Pre-Grammy show, Davido said he will go into wild celebration if he clinches the award for the Best African Music Performance category.
He, however, stated that he would be happy for African regardless of whoever wins.

“I am just happy that we all get to shine. What if there was no [African] category? So, at the end of the day we should all be happy that we have this category, something to call our own. Whoever wins, it’s okay. If I win, we are celebrating. We go crazy,”
he said.‘Unavailable’ will challenge Burna Boy’s ‘City Boys,’ Ayra Starr’s ‘Rush,’ Asake’s ‘Amapiano,’ and South Africa’s Tyla’s ‘Water’ for the gramophone.
Davido is also nominated in two other categories: ‘Timeless’ – Best Global Music Album, and ‘Feel’ – Best Global Music Performance.
The DMW boss will contest with his compatriot, Burna Boy and Arooj Aftab, Silvana Estrada, Béla Fleck, Falu and Gaurav Shah for the Best Global Music Performance gong.
He would also lock horns with Burna Boy, Susana Baca, Shakti, and Bokante in the Best Global Music Album category.
