“I was at home; the nomination list came out quite early. I took a shower, prayed, and ate breakfast just like a regular day, my wife was with me, but the first person I spoke to on the phone was my manager, Asa; then I went on Twitter, and Instagram; my WhatsApp was blowiing up, and people just started calling, and everybody was happy.”
During the interview, Davido explained why it was special for him to receive a nomination for his Timeless album compared to his other works.
The DMW boss said that even though he had always put significant work into all his projects, with him being in the industry for about 13 years, Timeless was the album he made after taking a break. He noted that he and his team worked hard, the process was different, and he took his time. Davido called the making of his Timeless album a personal experience.
