Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Davido, was visibly emotional as he gave a heartfelt speech at the traditional wedding of his longtime manager and friend, Asa Asika. In a touching moment that has since gone viral, Davido was seen wiping tears from his eyes, overwhelmed by the significance of the day.
“Asa, today shattered me… in the most beautiful way,” he wrote earlier on X. The pair have shared a remarkable journey — from humble beginnings to global recognition — navigating success, setbacks, and even a brief fallout. Through it all, their bond remained unbroken. “You’ve been more than my manager,” Davido said. “You’ve been my shield. My sanity. My brother in every battle. When the lights were off and it got dark, you stayed.”
Asa, now standing beside his bride, Leona Adesanya, represents more than a groom — he symbolizes the power of loyalty and growth. Davido reflected not just on their professional path but on the soul of their journey: “We didn’t chase the spotlight. We stayed rooted… loyal to our story, loyal to our people. That’s why the blessings never left — because we never left us behind.”
Turning to Leona, Davido shared his gratitude: “Thank you. For loving him the way we all hoped someone would. You brought him home to himself.”
The wedding, celebrated under the hashtag #LAALAA, is more than a union — it’s a milestone of legacy. As Davido put it, “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.”
