Nigerian music star Davido has once again shown that he’s not one to back down from online criticism, especially when it comes to defending his legacy. The Grammy conversation resurfaced this week after fans of fellow artist Wizkid, popularly known as Wizkid FC, took to social media to mock Davido’s lack of a Grammy award. What followed was a series of sharp, unapologetic responses from the singer that quickly became the talk of the internet.
The exchange began when a fan tweeted:
“You get Grammy or not? Answer mumu 😂”
Davido responded with a pointed clapback:
“Your papa give you better lifestyle or not? Answer mumu.”
The reply sparked widespread reactions, with many praising Davido’s ability to flip the insult and assert his position.
Another user attempted to downplay his relevance, tweeting:
“ATTENTION wey no get GRAMMY 😂”
Davido’s reply was simple but powerful:
“I AM THE ATTENTION.”
Though not referencing any specific song, the statement served as a bold reminder that his presence alone commands public interest, Grammy or not.

The conversation took a more personal turn when a fan suggested Davido’s success was due to privilege:
“If no be silver spoon wey them born you with, two of us suppose dey same level by now.”
Davido’s response was blunt and unapologetic:
“Nah your mama go knack wrong person no be my problem bro.”
In another tweet, when accused of seeking attention, Davido replied with a single bucket emoji 🪣, leaving fans to interpret the cryptic message in their own way.
Despite the criticism, Davido’s responses reflect a consistent theme in his public persona: confidence, resilience, and a refusal to let external validation define his worth. In past interviews, he’s acknowledged being one of the most criticized artists in Nigeria, often attributing the scrutiny to his wealthy background A. Yet, he continues to thrive, releasing chart-topping music and maintaining a loyal global fanbase.
While the Grammy remains a coveted prize in the music industry, Davido’s message is clear, awards don’t make the artist.
He is, as he put it, “the attention.”
