Asa Asika, longtime manager of Nigerian superstar Davido, has stirred intense conversations across social media after stating that the global rise of Afrobeats could have reached even greater heights if Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy had joined forces on a collaboration. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The statement, which surfaced in a viral clip on X (formerly Twitter), was made during a recent interview where Asika expressed regret that Nigeria’s three biggest musical exports have yet to deliver a united front on one track.

“If Wizkid, Davido and Burna collaborated, we would’ve been more successful, even stronger in terms of ticket sales,” he said.

Missed Opportunity or Independent Greatness?

Asika’s comment has since divided fans and industry observers. Some agreed wholeheartedly, suggesting that a joint record by the trio could have become one of the biggest songs in African music history, driving ticket sales, streaming numbers, and global attention even further.

“One song from these three and the internet would break. That’s the kind of moment Afrobeats needs,” a fan tweeted.

Others, however, argued that each of the stars—Wizkid with “Essence”, Davido with “Fall” and “Unavailable”, and Burna Boy with Grammy-winning Twice As Tall—has already done more than enough to cement Afrobeats’ global dominance individually.

“They’ve all charted globally, headlined arenas, and won awards. A collab would be great, but they’re doing just fine on their own,” a user replied.

Industry Politics and Fan Wars?

For years, fans have speculated about tensions and rivalries among the three Afrobeats giants. Though there have been moments of public reconciliation—including Wizkid and Davido sharing the stage in 2022—an official three-way collaboration remains elusive.

Music analysts say a joint project could still happen, but label politics, branding concerns, and fanbase rivalries may continue to stand in the way.

Conclusion: A Dream Collab That Could Define a Generation

As Afrobeats continues to explode on the world stage, Asa Asika’s comment has reignited hope that Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy might someday unite to deliver the ultimate anthem—a moment that could reshape African music history.
