Davido and Wizkid

The manager of Nigerian award-winning singer, Davido, Asa Asika, has claimed that Afrobeats would have been bigger and more successful if the singer had collaborated with his colleague, Wizkid and other artistes.

Naijaonpoint reports that Asika made the statement while discussing Afrobeats’ global success during his appearance on the ‘Afropolitan’ podcast.

Asika attributed the success of Latin music to strong collaborations among artistes such as J Balvin, Nicky Jam, Bad Bunny, and others.

While urging Afrobeats artistes to prioritise collaboration, Davido’s manager insisted that a joint project would increase global traction.

He said, “Afrobeat would have been bigger if Davido, Wizkid and the likes of others were collaborating. I might be wrong but the probability of Afrobeat being more successful and bigger is a thing. Our genre ticket values at international shows will be stronger.”

Meanwhile, Davido has clapped back at a fan who accused him of promoting cultism and ‘overdoing things.

The X user identified as @vardysteveayo, who claimed to be a fan of the singer, said he was disappointed by Davido’s actions, Naijaonpoint reports.
