Lagos, Nigeria – Nigerian socialite and businessman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has alleged that singer Davido’s repeated losses at the Grammy Awards are part of a deliberate effort to pressure him into compromising his values.
Reacting to Davido’s loss in the Best African Music Performance category at the 2026 Grammy Awards, where South African singer Tyla emerged winner, Cubana Chief Priest suggested that powerful figures within the Western music industry were attempting to frustrate the Afrobeats star.
In an Instagram post shared after the awards ceremony on Sunday, Cubana Chief Priest urged Davido to remain steadfast and refuse to bow to what he described as “demonic” demands from some foreign music executives.
He encouraged the singer to stay focused, move past the setback, and continue releasing music for his fans.
“Oyibo dey do everything possible to break a strong man so he can do their demonic sh*t with them, but he will never do it,” he wrote. “Heads up, brother. Open the bag and drop another hot one for us. E no dey finish—gbedu na water.”
Davido, one of Africa’s most celebrated music exports, has received multiple Grammy nominations over the years but is yet to secure a win, a situation that continues to spark debate among fans and industry observers.
