Asa Asika, Davido’s manager, has claimed that Afrobeats would have been more successful if the singer had collaborated with Wizkid and other artistes.
Asika made the statement while discussing Afrobeats’ global success.
Speaking during his appearance on the Afropolitan podcast, he attributed the success of Latin music to strong collaborations among the likes of J Balvin, Nicky Jam, Bad Bunny, and other singers.
While urging Afrobeats artistes to prioritise collaboration, he 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.”
