Nigerian music superstar Davido has penned an emotional tribute to his longtime manager and friend, Asa Asika, in celebration of Asa’s wedding to his partner, Leona.
The touching message, shared publicly on the day of the ceremony, offered a rare and intimate look into the strong brotherhood between Davido and Asa, built over years of shared struggles, loyalty, and success in the music industry.
“Asa, today shattered me… in the most beautiful way,” Davido wrote. “Seeing you stand beside Leona, with peace in your eyes and love in your heart — I couldn’t hold it in.”
A Bond Forged Through Fire
Davido reflected on their humble beginnings and the deep loyalty that kept them united over the years.
“Nothing was handed to us. We built this through fire, through faith, through a bond that never broke,” he said.
“You’ve been more than my manager. You’ve been my shield. My sanity. My brother in every battle.”
The multi-award-winning singer, who has achieved global recognition, praised Asa for never selling out, staying true to their shared vision, and carrying the culture even when the pressure was intense.
Leona’s Positive Influence
In a heartfelt section of the tribute, Davido highlighted how Asa’s bride, Leona, had changed him for the better.
“Since Leona came into your life, you’ve changed. You softened. You smiled more. You became a man at peace,” Davido said.
“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 “the way we all hoped someone would,” and vowed to protect what they had built as a couple.
A Celebration of Legacy
The tribute went beyond friendship — it was a celebration of legacy, love, and loyalty.
“This wedding… it’s not just love. It’s legacy. It’s proof that we can rise without losing our souls,” Davido wrote.
