Davido Submits Multiple Entries for 2027 Grammy Awards.
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has submitted multiple entries for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards, renewing hopes among fans that the singer could secure another opportunity for international recognition.
According to News reports published on October 13, 2026, Davido’s submissions include his sixth studio album, Oriade, alongside several songs and collaborations entered across different award categories. The development was first highlighted by music focused platform The Grammy Guru.
The album Oriade was submitted for consideration in four categories: Album of the Year, Best Global Music Album, Best Engineered Album (Non Classical), and Best Album Cover.
His song “B4 B4,” featuring Mayorkun and FOLA, was entered in the Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best African Music Performance categories.
Another collaboration, “Nakupenda,” featuring TxC, Zlatan, Shoday, Scotts Maphuma, and Al Xapo, was submitted for Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance.
Davido’s collaboration “Le Show,” featuring Ayra Starr and French Montana, was also entered for Best African Music Performance, while “I Know Who I Be,” featuring JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay, was submitted for Best Music Video.
The submissions come as the Recording Academy conducts the first round of voting for the 69th Annual Grammy Awards, scheduled to run from October 12 to October 22, 2026. The nominees are expected to be announced on November 16, with the awards ceremony scheduled for February 7, 2027, in Los Angeles.
However, submission does not guarantee a nomination. The Recording Academy’s voting and selection process will determine which entries advance to the final nominations.
Davido previously received Grammy nominations for his album Timeless and the songs “Unavailable” and “Feel” at the 66th Grammy Awards in 2024. Although he has yet to win the award, his continued submissions reflect his ambition to strengthen his presence on the international music scene.
His latest entries also highlight the growing participation of Nigerian artists in the global awards industry, as Afrobeats continues to expand its international audience.
Whether Davido secures nominations this year remains to be seen, but the announcement has renewed anticipation among his supporters as the race for the 2027 Grammy Awards progresses.
