Fact checked: Did Grammy Awards organizers say Davido arrived early to assist in arranging seats?

Did the Grammy Recording Academy indeed post on Instagram that Nigerian musician and record producer David Adedeji Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, and his entourage showed up early for the Los Angeles Grammy Awards ceremony and assisted with seating arrangements?

Naijalegit reported on February 4th, 2024, that the Recording Academy recognized the singer’s early arrival with his crew and highlighted their assistance in arranging seats.

After carefully observing and investigating the said report, it has been discovered that the report was fake and lacked authenticity, as it did not originate from any media platform of the Grammy Recording Academy or its affiliate outlets.

Instead, it has been found that the report was fabricated by an unidentified social media user for clout and engagement.

Having thoroughly investigated the issues, Gistreel takes full responsibility for the actions of its writer and offers a sincere apology to the Grammy Recording Academy, Davido, his crew members, his brand, and his fans affected by our misrepresentation.


Naijalegit ssures not only the Grammy Recording Academy and Davido but also all our readers of accurate reports and the proper orientation of our writers.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for all the inconvenience caused.
