Davido Recounts Chioma’s Words After Grammy Loss

Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has opened up about the emotional support he received from his wife, Chioma Rowland, after losing out at the Grammy Awards.

Speaking about the experience, the singer admitted that the loss was painful, especially after the anticipation and global attention surrounding his nomination. However, Davido said Chioma’s calm and reassuring words helped him put things in perspective at a moment when disappointment could have taken over.

According to Davido, Chioma reminded him that being nominated on the world’s biggest music stage is already a major achievement and a clear sign of how far his music has travelled. She encouraged him to stay grateful, celebrate the journey, and focus on the impact he has made rather than the outcome of the awards.

The singer revealed that her encouragement was the reason they still attended the Grammy after-party, choosing positivity and celebration over sadness. He explained that the decision helped lift his spirits and reminded him of the bigger picture beyond awards and trophies.

Davido also expressed appreciation to his fans for their unwavering support, noting that moments like this only motivate him to work harder and keep pushing Afrobeats to greater heights on the global stage. He stressed that setbacks are part of the journey and that he remains focused on making music and representing Africa worldwide.
