Key points
- Davido’s manager Asa Asika shares his Spotify Wrapped results online. Some fans say the playlist shows weak loyalty to his star.
- One user urges Davido to sack him over the list. Others argue music taste is personal and should stay private.
- Debate grows as Spotify Wrapped dominates chats across Nigerian timelines. Conversation also highlights how managers shape artists’ brands and stories.
Davido (David Adeleke) fans are debating his manager’s latest post. The chat started after Asa Asika shared his Spotify Wrapped. He posted his top artists and songs from this year.
Some fans recalled the Asa Asika 5ive Alive tour coverage on ValidUpdates. There he spoke proudly about building Davido’s brand and shows. Now they worry his own playlists do not match that energy.
One X user using the handle Abefe sparked wider debate. He wrote that he would sack Asa if he were Davido. “He is not worthy,” the tweet claimed in plain terms.
Fans question manager’s loyalty online
The user also used Yoruba words to call him harsh. He claimed the manager did not love working with David. Many readers saw the post as a direct loyalty test.
Another user, Ayanfe, reposted Asika’s card from Spotify Wrapped. He highlighted Machine Gun Kelly, Justin Bieber and others on the list. The post joked about no Davido songs making his top slots.
Comments under the posts soon turned into calls for action. Some fans said a loyal manager should stream his artist daily. Others even tagged Davido, asking him to replace his long-time aide.
Debate over playlists and real support
Some voices pushed back and called the uproar overblown. They noted Davido already scores heavy streams on global charts. They pointed to the Davido Spotify most-streamed list report, published earlier this year.
For them, a manager’s playlist does not prove workplace love. They argued he can enjoy different sounds yet still push Davido. Several users reminded others that fans also stream many artists daily.
Humour mixed with the outrage across many replies. Some edited fake cards that showed Davido in every single slot. Others posted their own Wrapped screens filled with Davido songs only.
Spotify Wrapped keeps stirring Nigerian music talk
Spotify Wrapped has again turned into a yearly talking point. Across Nigeria, users share screenshots, jokes and arguments about their stats. The feature lists each person’s most played music over twelve months.
For top stars like Davido, these lists often confirm huge demand. Earlier this year he led multiple entries on global streaming charts. ValidUpdates highlighted that run in its Rema, Shallipopi, Davido stream story.
The present dispute raises larger questions about how managers show backing. Some fans expect them to live and breathe only their artist. Industry people often say the job is broader than playlists.
Asika has managed Davido across big moments, rough patches and tours. This year he detailed tough planning stages for the 5ive Alive run. He also received public praise from Davido at his Lagos wedding earlier.
At press time, neither Davido nor Asika had replied directly. Both kept posting usual work and lifestyle updates on their pages. There is also no sign that Davido plans any staffing change.
For now, the argument stays mostly online among excited fans. Many simply enjoy the drama while replaying their own wrap cards. Others call for calm and urge people to face real issues.
Whether Davido listens or not, this episode shows fan passion. It also proves how one small screenshot can shake music spaces
