Sharon Adeleke, the sister of music star Davido and his aide, Israel DMW, have reacted to his Grammy loss.
Kemi Filani reported that the singer, alongside Burna Boy and Ayra Starr, lost to South African singer Tyla for the Best African Music Performance award at the 2026 Grammy Awards, which was held on Sunday, February 1st.
Tyla clinched the prize with her song, Push 2 Start, ahead of Burna Boy’s Love, Davido’s With You featuring Omah Lay, Ayra Starr and Wizkid’s Gimme Dat, as well as Eddy Kenzo and Mehran Matin’s Hope & Love.
Reacting to his loss, Israel DMW noted that Davido still remains the best deal. He promised that music lovers and fans would hear more of his sweet songs.
“Grammy Award or not, Oga still remains the Best Deal Mad, Back to Back Hit Shiits Continues. Una go hear sweet music taya”.
Davido’s sister, Sharon Adeleke, via her Instagram story, shared a biblical verse, which reads, “At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen”.
Earlier on, socialite, Cubana Chief Priest, said that the white men are trying to break a strong man like Davido, so he can do this demonic shit with them, but he wouldn’t bow. He encouraged Davido to keep his head up, open the bag and drop another hot song for them.
