A music lover named ABEFE recently spoke out on X (formerly Twitter). He urged Nigerian music superstar Davido to fire his manager, Asa. This call came after Asa revealed his top songs for the year. The playlist notably excluded any Davido tracks.
Asa’s chosen playlist featured other artists. These included MGK, Justin Bieber, and Ryan Leslie. This omission quickly sparked a lively debate. Fans and others criticized the manager’s song choices.
Public Outcry Spurs Reactions
ABEFE reacted strongly to the playlist. He wrote, “If I were Davido today, I would sack Asaasika. He is not worthy to be his manager. That guy is cruel. He doesn’t truly love working with David.”
His comment generated diverse opinions. Many users debated a manager’s role. They questioned if a manager must prioritize their artist’s songs.
Controversial Social Media Post
User LAMPs commented, “A manager should stream their artist’s music. Even if they heard it pre-release, they should boost streaming numbers. Not everyone listens for pleasure. Some aim to rack up streaming figures.”
AYO added, “They all know Davido lacks talent. He is generally a dullard. They simply flatter him. They help him spend his money.”
Godfather stated, “I always tell people: they are just there for the lifestyle. They genuinely dislike his music.”
Vipe Minister argued, “He hears Davido live daily. They are often together. Do you still expect him to endlessly stream the music?!”
Juicebox questioned, “Are you all so foolish? You call someone his manager, right? Who first hears the song? That happens before the public pays. Come on!”
