‏Davido, the Afrobeats singer, has penned an emotional message celebrating Asa Asika, his longtime manager, on the occasion of his traditional wedding to fiancée Leona Adesanya. 

The couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony held in Lagos on Saturday.

Taking to his X page, Davido reflected on their journey together, from humble beginnings to achieving global success.

In the post, the ‘Be There Still’ hitmaker recalled how they built their careers from the ground up, overcoming challenges and staying true to their roots.

He emphasised that nothing was handed to them and that every achievement was earned through hard work, loyalty, and an unbreakable bond.

Davido described Asa as more than just a manager but a brother who stood by him through every struggle.

He praised Asa’s growth and expressed deep joy at seeing him find love and happiness with Leonna.

“Asa, today shattered me… in the most beautiful way. Seeing you stand beside Leonna, 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,” he wrote.

“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 us behind. You’ve been more than my manager. You’ve been my shield. My sanity. My brother in every battle. When the lights were off and it got dark, you stayed. And even now, with the world at our feet — you’re still that same solid soul I started with.”

Davido also thanked Leonna for bringing out the best in Asa, noting how she had softened his heart and brought him genuine happiness.

“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 wrote.

“Leonna, thank you. For loving him the way we all hoped someone would. You didn’t just join the journey — you became its purpose. You brought him home to himself. I promise, as long as I breathe, I’ll protect what you two have built. 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.”
