Davido, the DMW label boss, is making a significant push for the 2027 Grammy Awards by submitting his latest album and five songs for consideration. His 13-track album, released on July 31, 2026, via Music Worldwide and Sony Music, has been entered in four categories: Album of the Year, Best Global Music Album, Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical), and Best Album Cover.

The songs submitted include "B4 B4" featuring Mayorkun and FOLA for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best African Music Performance; "Nakupenda," featuring TxC, Zlatan, Shoday, Scotts Maphuma, and Al Xapo, for Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance; "Le Show," a collaboration with Ayra Starr and French Montana, for Best African Music Performance; and "I Know Who I Be," featuring JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay, for Best Music Video. These submissions are not nominations, and the eligibility window covers releases from August 31, 2025, to August 28, 2026.

First-round voting is currently underway, with nominations set to be announced on November 16, 2026. The 69th Annual Grammy Awards are scheduled for February 7, 2027, in Los Angeles.

Davido has received five Grammy nominations throughout his career but has yet to win.
