LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA)- Nigerian music star Omah Lay has broken his silence on his first-ever Grammy nomination, revealing a mix of excitement and indifference toward the global accolade.
The “Soso” crooner earned his maiden Grammy nod for his collaboration with Davido on “With You”, nominated in the Best African Music Performance category at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, set for February 1, 2026, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Taking to Instagram, Omah Lay admitted he was thrilled by the recognition but confessed that awards have never defined his artistry. What truly matters to him, he said, is seeing his friend Davido, whom he called his “realest friend in a while” take home the win.
