A music enthusiast named ABEFE on X (formerly Twitter) has called for the dismissal of David Adeleke’s manager, Asa. This follows Asa’s recent sharing of his top songs and artists of the year.
Asa’s personal playlist did not feature any songs by Davido. Instead, it showcased artists like MGK, Justin Bieber, and Ryan Leslie.
This exclusion sparked controversy among fans and the public. ABEFE publicly criticized the manager’s selections.
Online Reaction to the Manager’s Playlist
Responding to the playlist, ABEFE called for Asa’s immediate dismissal. He expressed his strong opinion on X.
He stated, “If I’m Davido today, I will sack Asaasika, he’s not worthy to be his manager… ika ni Bobo yen… he doesn’t love working with David.”
His comment initiated extensive discussions on social media. Many users debated if a manager should primarily promote their artist’s music.
ABEFE’s initial tweet also included a video clip. It showed the manager’s controversial playlist selections, fueling the online discussion.
User LAMPs supported ABEFE’s view. They argued managers should stream their artist’s music. This significantly boosts streaming numbers. Some listeners prioritize these figures, not just enjoyment.
Another user, AYO, offered a harsh perspective. They asserted Davido “lacks talent and is generally dull.” AYO suggested his team “lies to him” and “helps him eat his money.”
User Godfather agreed with the sentiment. He claimed Davido’s team seeks a “lifestyle” only. They “don’t really like his music,” he noted.
Vipe Minister, however, defended Asa. “He listens to Davido live daily,” they argued. “They are constantly together. Why insist he streams his music endlessly?”
User Juicebox questioned the critics. “Are you all this d**b?” he queried. “He is the manager, correct? He hears the music first. Before you even pay to listen. Think about it!”
