Renowned music star, Davido swapped his usual arena lights for traditional elegance as he took on groomsman duties at the wedding of his longtime manager and close friend, Asa Asika, in a celebration that turned Lagos into the capital of love and luxury on May 17, 2025.
Known for shutting down stages worldwide, this time Davido stole hearts, not headlines—dressed in regal traditional attire and all smiles as he stood beside Asa during the much-anticipated ceremony. Over a decade strong, their brotherhood was on full display in the way Davido beamed through the festivities, reminding fans that true friendship shines brighter than any spotlight.
In a moment that captured hearts online, Davido revealed in an Instagram story that he was the very first to see the engagement ring before Asa popped the question in 2024. “I saw it before anyone else,” he wrote, adding layers of sentiment to his role in the wedding.
Before the ceremony, the internet was already buzzing thanks to Asa and his bride, Leona Adesanya, who dropped a series of jaw-dropping pre-wedding photos. From deep wine-colored traditional fits to timeless black formalwear, the couple served love, style, and synergy—setting social media on fire and setting the tone for their big day.
Asa Asika, co-founder of entertainment powerhouse The Plug, has been instrumental in shaping not just Davido’s career, but the trajectory of Afrobeats itself. His union with Leona, a rising creative force in her own right, felt like the perfect blend of art, ambition, and affection. The pair’s love story began in 2023 and has blossomed into one of the most talked-about industry relationships.
The wedding guest list was stacked with showbiz royalty, reaffirming Asa’s influence and respect across the entertainment industry. But it was Davido’s presence—not just as a celebrity, but as a loyal friend—that added emotional weight to the star-studded affair.
From studio sessions to wedding speeches, Davido and Asa have journeyed through life side by side. And on this day, the “Timeless” singer reminded the world that loyalty, not just luxury, is what truly makes an icon.
