‘I Don’t Care About Awards, But I Want Davido To Win’, Omah Lay Reacts To First Grammy Nomination


Nigerian singer Stanley Omah Didia, popularly known as Omah Lay, has shared his reaction to his first Grammy nomination, saying he don’t care about winning the award so long fellow singer, Davido, will win.

Following the release of the 2026 Grammy Nominations on Friday, November 7, LEADERSHIP reports that the artist received his debut Grammy nomination for his collaboration with Davido on the song ‘With You’, under the ‘Best African Music Performance’ category at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.

Taking to his Instagram page, the artist expressed his excitement about the recognition but admitted that awards don’t really matter to him.

However, he added that he genuinely hopes Davido takes home the award, describing the singer as the most genuine friend he’s had in a long time. “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,” he wrote.

The 2026 Grammy Awards are set to take place on February 1, 2026, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with a global broadcast on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
