Omah Lay Reacts to First Grammy Nomination, Prioritizes Davido's Win

Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Stanley Omah Didia, widely known as Omah Lay, has shared a candid and emotional reaction to earning his first-ever Grammy Award nomination.

The singer-songwriter was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category for his hit collaboration, "With You," featuring fellow Nigerian superstar Davido.

In a striking statement posted on his fan platform, Omah Lay expressed his excitement about the recognition but downplayed his own desire to win, instead focusing his hope entirely on his collaborator.

"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 during my hardest times," Omah Lay wrote.

This sentiment highlights a strong bond and deep gratitude toward Davido, who, despite having multiple previous nominations, has yet to secure a Grammy win.

The nod for "With You" is a significant career milestone for Omah Lay and further underscores the growing global influence of Nigerian music.
