Nigerian music superstar Davido has shared a candid and surprising moment with his wife Chioma following his loss at the 2026 Grammy Awards, revealing what she told him that lifted his spirits despite the disappointment.
In a post on social media after the ceremony, where his song With You (with Omah Lay) lost in the Best African Music Performance category, Davido admitted the defeat hit him hard — so much so that he didn’t want to show up at the after-party. But Chioma changed his mind with words that have now gone viral.
“I said baby listen, we lost again, let’s not go! She said, ‘Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. We’re outside,’” Davido wrote, sharing photos of the couple out and about after the event.
The heartfelt exchange drew admiration from fans online, with many hailing Chioma’s message as wise and uplifting couple goals — a reminder that resilience can shine even in the face of setback.
Davido’s entry was up against heavy competition, including artists like Burna Boy, Ayra Starr and Wizkid in the same category, but the award ultimately went to South African star Tyla for Push 2 Start.
Chioma’s words now echo across social feeds as a pep talk to anyone dealing with life’s losses — and a tribute to standing tall even when the glittering trophy slips away.
