Popular Nigerian music executive Samklef has taken to social media to drag the living daylight out of popular Nigerian singer Davido after Tems beats him to win the Best African music performance.
The highly anticipated 67th Grammy Awards was held yesterday night, January 2nd 2024 January 2nd 2025 ay the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, United States of America (USA), despite the recent wildfires that have devastated parts of the city.
However, for the Best African Music Performance category, singer Tems “Love Me Jeje” beats tough contenders including Chris Brown’s Sensational featuring Davido & Lojay, Yemi Alade’s Tomorrow, Burna Boy’s Higher as well as Asake’s MMS featuring Wizkid.
While Davido has congratulated Tems, the development did not go down well with music producer Samklef who accused the singer of condemning the prestigious award in the past during his viral interview with Ebuka.
Sharing the video, Samklef accompanied it with the caption; “Covetousness is when you secretly desire something but condemn it simply because you couldn’t have it. The universe has its laws! Looks like Davido has finally learned. 😂.”
Samklef went on to share a locally handmade plaque for the Best African Music Performance for Davido as he continues to mock the superstar Afrobeats singer.
Sharing the fake plaque, Samklef wrote; “30bgs make una use this one hold body! 😂 next year Davido go win the real one. Samklef of the 7th heaven!”
He added; “Please check on 30BGs o! 😂 Thank God say dem no dey bribe for Grammy—if not, we for no hear word today! At the end of the day, money can’t save you if you don’t have real talent. Tems won because she’s truly gifted. Now she has the house, the private jet, the expensive cars—but no unnecessary show-off. Just pure talent.”
“Burnaboy and Wizkid go Dey one place just Dey laff 😂 he wan win Grammy! 😂.”
