Davido Shines at Grammy Museum With Performance of Grammy-Nominated With You
Nigerian superstar Davido lit up the Grammy Museum on Monday night as the headliner of the Spotlight: Davido event — an intimate showcase highlighting his artistry, growth, and global impact. Supported by a live band, Davido delivered a soulful performance of With You, the now Grammy-nominated track that celebrates love, joy, and emotional vulnerability.
Before stepping on stage, Davido sat with Grammy Museum moderators for a pre-show conversation, where he shared behind-the-scenes details about the song’s creation. He revealed that he rewrote his verse just two days before release, describing the decision as “legendary” and crediting the urgency and inspiration of the moment for helping shape the record’s final sound.
With You has since earned a nomination for Best African Music Performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards, marking a major milestone for everyone involved — especially for Omah Lay, who earns the first Grammy nomination of his career through this collaboration. The recognition further cements Afrobeats’ expanding presence on the world stage, showcasing its emotional depth, sonic richness, and global influence.
