Nigerian music star Davido has taken another historic step on the global stage, officially joining the Recording Academy, the body behind the Grammy Awards.
His induction, announced on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, means the Afrobeats giant now has voting rights in one of the world’s most prestigious music awards.
As a new member, Davido is eligible to vote in upcoming Grammy Awards categories, a responsibility he proudly showcased in an announcement video. “I’ve learned how this empowers me to have a say in what is considered and voted on each award season,” he said, stressing the importance of artists shaping the recognition of their peers.
The move is not only a personal milestone for Davido but also a win for Afrobeats, as it positions him to influence how African music is represented and celebrated on the global stage. His membership reflects the Recording Academy’s ongoing efforts to diversify its voting body and embrace sounds and cultures beyond the traditional Western mainstream.
For Davido, it’s another achievement in a career defined by breaking barriers, and for Afrobeats, it marks yet another step toward deeper recognition in international music spaces.
