Nigerian award-winning singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has shared the soothing words his wife, Chioma Rowland Adeleke, said to him after losing the Grammy Awards for the second time.
BEYOND AFRICA reports that Davido’s song featuring Omah Lay, With You was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category, but he did not take home the prize.
South African star Tyla had clinched the prize for the Best African Music Performance category for her song Push 2 Start.
The category featured several Nigerian artistes, including Burna Boy with Love, Davido with With You featuring Omah Lay, and the joint entry from Ayra Starr and Wizkid titled Gimme Dat.
Also nominated was Hope & Love by Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin.
Despite the heavy Nigerian presence, none of the country’s nominees emerged victorious.
In a post on his Instagram page, the singer stated that after the loss, he told his wife that they had lost again, so there was no reason to go to the after-party.
However, Chioma gave a profound response.
Sharing photos from their outing, Davido wrote: “I said baby listen, we lost again, let’s not go! She said, ‘Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. We’re outside.”
