Nigerian Afrobeat singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has penned a heartfelt tribute to his manager, Asa Asika, as he married his hearthrob, Leona Adesanya.
Asika had on Saturday tied the knot with Leona in an extravagant traditional wedding ceremony with Davido playing the best man role for his manager.
The visibly elated singer was captured in a Facebook post dancing as the MC eulogized him.
Following the event, Davido took to his social media handle where he heaped praises on Asika as he recounted their journey together.
He held that Asika is more than just a manager to him but a brother in every battle.
While noting changes Leona brought to Asika since the couple began their affairs, Davido pledged to protect what they have built.
The singer’s post read; “Today shattered me… in the most beautiful way.
“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.
“But Asa… since Leona came into your life, you’ve changed. You softened. You smiled more. You became a man at peace. And watching her see the real you — not the workhorse, not the machine — but you… that healed something deep in me too.
“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.
“We didn’t just make it, Asa. We made it our way. And standing next to you today, I feel something no award can give me.
“I feel home.
“Forever beside you,
David”
