Throwing subtle shades at Davido, Samklef wrote,
“Please check on 30BGs o! Thank God say dem no dey bribe for Grammy—if not, we for no hear word today! At the end of the day, money can’t save you if you don’t have real talent. Tems won because she’s truly gifted. Now she has the house, the private jet, the expensive cars—but no unnecessary show-off. Just pure talent.”

“Burnaboy and Wizkid go Dey one place just Dey laff he wan win Grammy,” he said.
Ubi Frankln replies Samklef
In a response, the talent manager who is a popular ally to Davido cautioned Samklef, stating that the DMW label boss was not the first person who has gotten nominated and didn’t win.
Ubi also shared how he had spoken to Samklef privately about his disrespect to Davido.
“Samklef you actually need to stop this please, David is not the first person who has gotten nominated and hasn’t won yet. Chris Brown after 25 Nominations he just got two. Stop dragging David into your continuous disrespectful commentary. I am very certain Burna and wiz aren’t even bothered about the outcome yesterday at the Grammy. I have spoken to you in private as my friend, you need to actually stop this rubbish you have been doing, please stop,” he wrote.
