A Nigerian music fan known as ABEFE on X (formerly Twitter) has called on superstar Davido Adeleke to fire his manager, Asa, following the release of Asa’s most-played songs and top artists of the year list.
The playlist, which did not feature any of Davido’s tracks, included names like MGK, Justin Bieber, Ryan Leslie, and others.

ABEFE criticised Asa’s choices, tweeting: “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.”
The comment quickly ignited a discussion on social media, with fans and observers debating whether it’s a manager’s responsibility to prioritize their artiste’s music.
