Israel DMW Blasts Those Mocking Davido Over Grammy Loss

Israel Afeare, popularly known as Israel DMW, the logistics manager to Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has slammed those mocking his boss for completely losing out at the 66th Grammys.

Naija News reported that Davido lost all three nominations at the 66th Grammys on Sunday.

He stated that the Grammy organisers used Davido for publicity, adding that past awardees never merited it.

“Look at your life in the next 20 years, if you’ will be will be better than oga, in any way. Look at the life of some past awardees, if they ever merited it.”
