Though
all the chatter had been speculative, it has now been confirmed by both
parties that Davido and Asa are no longer working together. While
rumours about the reasons for their split vary from “money matters” to
“simply moving on”, only Davido and Asa know the full story.
Davido’s
rise to fame with Asa’s support was a really positive example of talent
and youthful resourcefulness working well together. From an unknown
teenage musician and young manager, to an African superstar. They did
well.
Here is an official press release on Asa’s next steps.
Asa
Asika is a very well known name in the entertainment industry; in
Africa and beyond. He is a hardworking driven young man whose meteoric
rise in the entertainment industry is unprecedented.
Identifying
his passion for entertainment at a young age and gifted with networking
and project management abilities, he honed his skills under the
tutelage of his uncle, Obi Asika the Storm 360 CEO for a period of about
five years.
At
Storm he became involved in all aspects of the business of
entertainment and this enabled him understand how best to eventually
manage upcoming artists and lead them to stardom. During his time at
Storm he worked on the following shows and with the following artistes –
The Homecoming with MTN, For The love of music concert with Samsung,
Asa at The Palms, eLDee, Ikechukwu, Naeto C, Sasha P, to mention a few.
In
an attempt to diversify and become involved in other profitable
business opportunities, he forayed into the bar/nightclub industry by
becoming involved with the popular club Rehab.
His
immense drive and popularity contributed to the incredible success of
the club, making it one of the most frequented venues in Lagos.
Asa
Asika is most probably best known today as the manager of the artiste
known as Davido- whose growth from aspiring musician to one of the
biggest artists in Nigeria he undoubtedly contributed immeasurably to.
Although they have parted ways, it was amicable and they remain friends with a mutual respect for one other.
Asa has since moved onto other projects and is set to break more ground in worldwide showbiz.
