Afrobeats giant, Davido, did not hold back any metaphor as he highlights the role his manager, Asa Asika, has played in his life.
According to him, Asika has been his shield and sanity.
This is the kernel of Davido’s congratulatory message to the manager as he married the love of his life, Leona, over the weekend.
Reflecting on their journey together, Davido highlighted the strength of their bond, forged through years of shared challenges and triumphs.
He praised Asa’s unwavering loyalty, dedication, and commitment to their collective vision.
The singer also acknowledged the positive influence of Asa’s new wife, Leona, noting that she has brought out a more tender side of him.
He expressed gratitude to her for loving Asa genuinely.
“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 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.
“Leona… 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.
“I feel home. Forever beside you, David.”
