Davido's manager, Asa Asika, has wed his lover, Leona Adesanya, in a glamorous UK church wedding.
The ceremony was held on June 17, 2025, and attended by close friends
Not only was Davido present, but he also played the role of a groomsman at the event.
Asa also appeared in a classic black suit, and Leona in a graceful white gown, as they exchanged vows.
The couple were smiled and walking down the aisle while loved ones cheered them on.
Davido, visibly moved, described the moment as a “true celebration of love and loyalty,” highlighting his bond with Asa and his support for the new chapter in his manager’s life.
In a 202 interview on Joey Akan's Afrobeat Intelligence Podcast, Asa Asika shared how his journey with Davido began.
He said he doesnt even remember the first time they met as they were just teenagers at the time.
Asa was schooling at Whitesands, and Davido was at British Internationational School (BIS).
Some students moved between the two schools, so they had mutual friends.
"There was this guy called David who made music," Asa recalled.
Eventually, their mutual friends encouraged them to work together.
Davido was already passionate about music, and Asa had some experience managing artists.
He had work with singer YQ, who was signed to Storm360, a record label owned by Asa's uncle, Obi Asika.
Their friends could see that a collaboration made sense.
At that time, though, Davido wasn't thinking of becoming an artist.
He just wanted to produce music and run a record label.
But things changed in the year 2010 when Davido reached out to Asa and said he was ready to try singing.
Asa was working on his first on his first song, Back When, which he finished in Nigeria and featured rapper Naeto C — Asa’s cousin — on it. That moment marked Asa Asika’s first real step into artist management. He was only 20 years old and became Davido’s manager.
Together, they built the foundation for HKN Music, Davido’s first record label. Under Asa’s guidance, Davido dropped hits like Back When and Dami Duro, which quickly made him one of the biggest names in Nigerian music.
