“Davido, Leave Grammy, Pls”: Radiogad Roasts Singer Over Failure to Bag Award at 67th Edition
- It is no longer news that Nigerian singer Davido failed to bring back home the coveted gramophone from the 67th Grammys edition
- His song “Sensational,” featuring Chris Brown and Lojay, was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category
- This year marks Davido’s fourth Grammy nod, and media personality Radiogad made some observations about it
Nigerian media personality Destiny Ezeyim, professionally known as Radiogad, has pleaded with Afrobeats star David Adeleke, aka Davido, to stop submitting his songs to the Grammys.
The radio host claimed it was now clear that Davido might never win the most coveted award and noted that the musician had tried his best.

Radiogad argued that the Timeless hitmaker was desperate to the point where the organisers were now aware of it.
According to him, the former DMW boss was not good enough like his colleagues Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Tems.
Recall that fast-rising artist Tems won the Grammys' Best African Music Performance award, which she dedicated to God and her mother.
The Love Me Jeje crooner beat the likes of Yemi Alade's Tomorrow, Asake's MMS, Chris Brown's Sensational feat Davido and Lojay, and Burna Boy's Higher to win the award. While Chris Brown lost the Best African Music Performance to Tems, he won the Best R&B Album for his '11:11′ album.
Concerns over Davido’s health
Radiogad, in his lengthy clip, mentioned that the Grammys wasn’t an institution where one could manipulate their way into victory.
He noted that he didn't want the Afrobeats star to be depressed or get a heart attack.
However, Radiogad claimed that Davido had turned into a laughingstock and that it was best for the singer to stay away from the international body.
