“Where were you when you heard you were nominated?” the interviewer questioned.

The first person he called to let his manager, Asa Asika, know that he was in the room with his wife Chioma, he continued. His buddies from the album then used social media to let his followers know about the development.

The next question the recording academy interviewer asked was; “Why is it special to receive a nomination for timeless compared to your other work?

Davido stated that he put a lot of work in the Timeless album even though he has always put in the work in his albums.

He continued by saying that since Timeless is unique to him, he works one-on-one with his producers and engineers in his room.

This is the last query: “Which nominations mean the most to you, and why?”

Davido said all the nominations matters to him as this is the first time he gets the Grammy nominations and he is excited. He however noted that Grammy finally considers Africans for the Best African Music Performance.
