An X user, ABEFE, called for Davido’s manager, Asa, to be fired. This demand followed Asa’s public sharing of his year-end music playlist. The list surprisingly excluded any tracks by Davido.
Asa’s playlist featured artists like MGK, Justin Bieber, and Ryan Leslie. Davido was notably absent from the selection.
This exclusion ignited widespread debate. Both fans and casual observers discussed Asa’s choices. ABEFE’s public criticism fueled the controversy.
Public Outcry Over Manager’s Music Preferences
ABEFE reacted strongly to the playlist. He publicly stated, “If I were Davido, I would dismiss Asaasika. He is unworthy of being his manager. That guy is wicked; he doesn’t enjoy working with David.”
ABEFE’s comments sparked diverse reactions on social media. Users debated if a manager should prioritize their artist’s music.
