Davido announced his upcoming collaboration with Angélique Kidjo, titled “Joy,” on August 26, 2024, via his X (formerly Twitter) page. The track, featuring the Beninois music legend, is set to be released on August 30, 2024.
Fans and industry insiders are buzzing about the potential Grammy implications of this collaboration, especially since the release coincides with the Grammy entry deadline for 2024. Davido, who was nominated for three Grammys in 2023, seems strategically poised to enhance his chances for another nomination with this collaboration.
Given Angélique Kidjo’s track record—five Grammy wins and 14 nominations—it’s easy to see why there’s speculation that this single could be a strong contender in the global categories.
Davido’s previous nominations for his album “Timeless” and singles “Feel” and “Unavailable” marked significant milestones in his career, and “Joy” might just be his ticket to another Grammy nod.
