Did Davido Say He Lost a Grammy for Turning Down P. Diddy’s Party Invitation?

In the realm of celebrity gossip, a shocking claim emerged on October 5, 2024, igniting a flurry of discussions. A Facebook user named Joe Igbokwe alleged that Nigerian music star Davido confessed he could not win a Grammy award because he turned down an invitation to a party hosted by the iconic P. Diddy.

The post featured a striking image of Davido alongside the American rapper, stirring intrigue and speculation. “I turned down P. Diddy’s party invitation twice and lost the Grammy twice,” the user quoted Davido as saying, “while my colleagues visited him, won the Grammy, and became African giants.”

But as the digital frenzy intensified, a critical question lingered: Is there any truth to this assertion?

A thorough search through Davido’s social media platforms—X, Instagram, and Facebook—revealed no trace of such a statement. No credible news outlet reported this claim, leaving it hanging in the air like an unanswered question. Also, fact checking organisations, including DUBAWA, have debunked this claim.

So, what’s the truth? There is no evidence that Davido said this at any public forum, whether at an event or interview.

CONCLUSION 

The assertion that Davido attributed his Grammy losses to declining P. Diddy’s party invitation is utterly false.
