Lagos, Nigeria — The Afrobeats star Davido has penned an emotional tribute to his long-time manager, Asa Asika, following Asika’s traditional wedding in Lagos.
It was previously reported that the award-winning singer served as a groomsman during the ceremony, visibly supporting his manager throughout the celebrations.
On Saturday, Davido took to X to share a heartfelt message, describing how the day moved him profoundly.
He reflected on their friendship, recalling the trials they have weathered together and the bond that has remained unbroken through success and hardship.
He wrote, “Seeing you stand beside Leona, with peace in your eyes and love in your heart… I couldn’t hold it in. Not just because of the man you’ve become, but because of how you became him.
“Nothing was handed to us. We built this through fire, through faith, through a bond that never broke.
“We didn’t chase the spotlight. We stayed rooted. Loyal to our story, loyal to our people. We didn’t sell out. We carried the culture, even when it felt heavy. That’s why the blessings never left because we never left ourselves behind.
“You’ve been more than my manager. You’ve been my shield. My sanity. My brother in every battle.”
Davido also praised the transformative impact Asa’s wife, Leona, has had on him, adding the visible change in his friend’s spirit since her arrival.
“But Asa… since Leona came into your life, you’ve changed. You softened. You smiled more. You became a man at peace. And watching her see the real you not the workhorse, not the machine, but you that healed something deep in me too.”
He thanked Leona for loving Asa in a way they had all hoped for, adding, “You didn’t just join the journey, you became its purpose.”
Davido promised to protect what the couple had built together, declaring: “As long as I breathe, I’ll protect what you two have built.”
Conclusively, the DMW boss reflected on the legacy they have created together, celebrating their shared values and brotherhood.
“This wedding… it’s not just love. It’s legacy. It’s proof that we can rise without losing our souls. That brotherhood can survive success. That culture can be kept not just worn.
“We didn’t just make it, Asa. We made it our way. And standing next to you today, I feel something no award can give me.
“I feel home.
“Forever beside you,
David.”
