Afrobeat Super Star, David Adedeji Adeleke, professionally known as Davido, is now an official member of the Grammy Recording Academy.
This has raised many eyebrows as ardent Afrobeat lovers think the singer is there to satisfy his interests and sabotage other artists.
Afrobeat lovers claim Davido has been unable to win the award after many years of being a global icon in the music industry, so this opportunity will grant him an easy route to win his first Grammy by voting for himself, even if he doesn’t deserve it.
Before a singer wins a Grammy, they send their records to the Recording Academy for scrutiny, and after that, the members decide through voting, and that’s the power Davido now has. Does this mean he will choose himself over and over again?
In a Trending Video, Davido announced this and showed his excitement for the opportunity to be part of the decision-making process for his colleagues.
This news has stirred reactions, with some being happy because he’s their favorite singer, and others are with the notion that he’d vote for his loved ones and not people who truly deserve to be awarded after a year of hard work.

Above all this, a section of music lovers thinks he’s there to satisfy himself and win a Grammy since he’s yet to win one for himself after being in the entertainment scene for over a decade.
Despite this being good news for Nigeria, these positive reactions are few while the negative ones are numerous, as it doesn’t sit well with many people.
