Nigerian Afro-fusion star Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has shared his reaction to receiving his first-ever Grammy nomination.
According to 9javibez, the singer earned his debut Grammy nod alongside Davido for their collaborative hit “With You”, which was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category at the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards.
Taking to his Instagram page, Omah Lay expressed excitement over the recognition but noted that he doesn’t attach too much importance to awards. However, he revealed that he genuinely wants Davido (OBO) to win, describing the superstar as one of his most loyal friends.
“I’m excited about this Grammy nomination haha but fr fr I don’t give a sh!t about awards. Yeah, but I really want it for OBO! He is the realest friend I’ve had in a while, he stood by me during my hardest times,”
Omah Lay wrote.
The post has since gone viral, with fans praising Omah Lay for his humility and loyalty to Davido.
Davido, despite being one of Africa’s biggest music exports, has yet to win a Grammy Award. The singer has received four nominations so far, including two in the Best African Music Performance category, which was introduced in 2023 to recognize outstanding contributions to the growing Afrobeats genre.
The 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony is set to take place on February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and will be broadcast globally on CBS and streamed live on Paramount+.
This year’s nominations have once again highlighted Nigeria’s dominance in African music, with top stars like Burna Boy, Ayra Starr, Wizkid, and Tyla also making the list in major global categories.
