Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido has reportedly submitted his sixth studio album, Oriadé, and four songs for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards.
The album has been entered for Album of the Year, Best Global Music Album, Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, and Best Album Cover. The submissions place the project in contention for recognition across musical, production and visual categories.
Among the individual tracks, “B4 B4”, featuring Mayorkun and FOLA, has been submitted for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance.
“Nakupenda”, featuring TxC, Zlatan, Shoday, Scotts Maphuma and Al Xapo, is seeking consideration for Song of the Year and Best African Music Performance.
“Le Show”, a collaboration with Ayra Starr and French Montana, has also been entered for Best African Music Performance, while “I Know Who I Be”, featuring JAZZWRLD and GL_Ceejay, has been submitted for Best Music Video.
The reported entries have emerged as Recording Academy members begin first-round voting, which runs from October 12 to October 22, 2026. Submissions do not constitute nominations; the official nominees will be announced on November 16.
The 69th Annual Grammy Awards are scheduled for February 7, 2027, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Davido is pursuing his first Grammy win, having earned five nominations to date. His first three came at the 2024 ceremony, where Timeless competed for Best Global Music Album, “Feel” for Best Global Music Performance and “Unavailable” for Best African Music Performance.
He subsequently received nominations for “Sensational”, with Chris Brown and Lojay, in 2025, and “With You”, featuring Omah Lay, in 2026.
