Afropop star, Davido has congratulated his colleagues Burna Boy and Wizkid for winning their respective categories at the 2021 Grammys.

Wizkid opened the global honour roll as he snagged his first-ever Grammy award on Sunday for his role in the 2019 song by Beyonce, ‘Brown Skin Girl’.

The song, a track off Beyonce’s ‘The Lion King: The Gift’, won the ‘Best Music Video’ category at the award ceremony held in Los Angeles, United States.

Burna Boy followed suit as he also clinched his first Grammy award after winning the ‘Best Global Music Album’ category for his 2020 project, ‘Twice As Tall’.

With torrents of congratulatory messages pouring in for the two talented singers, Davido joined in appreciating the duo’s heroics successes and described the latest development as a victory for Nigeria as well as its people and culture.

“Whichever way you look at it, this is a victory for Nigeria for the culture and for my people! Congrats to our winners! Tule Naija! #Grammys #foreverchoke,” he wrote on Twitter.

The trio —Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido— have established themselves as household names in the global music landscape with strings of projects and recognition.
