In a surprising revelation, Nigerian artist Sypro has alleged that Asa Asika, the well-known talent manager and Davido’s close associate, is the reason why his highly anticipated collaboration with Davido never saw the light of day.
In an exclusive interview with Pulse Nigeria, Sypro opened up about the collaboration that was initially announced with much fanfare. According to the artist, everything was set for the release, but certain behind-the-scenes issues led to the project being shelved indefinitely.
“I was really excited about the collaboration with Davido. We recorded the song, it was ready, and we were all hyped about it,” Sypro shared. “But things took a turn when Asa Asika got involved. Without going into too much detail, I’ll say that his intervention played a huge role in why the song never dropped.”
Sypro did not mince words when speaking about Asa’s involvement, suggesting that the manager’s influence over Davido’s projects led to the cancellation of his own track. “Asa is very powerful when it comes to decision-making around Davido’s career. I think he made a decision that was more about protecting Davido’s image and brand rather than allowing the music to be released.”
While Sypro did not elaborate further on the nature of the alleged interference, sources close to both the artist and Davido’s camp have remained tight-lipped, leaving fans to speculate about the true nature of the conflict.
The collaboration, which was rumored to be a potential hit, was originally teased by both artists on social media, fueling excitement among fans of both Sypro and the Afrobeats superstar. However, after initial announcements and studio sessions posted online, updates on the project quickly slowed down.
Asa Asika has yet to respond publicly to Sypro’s claim, and it remains unclear if the collaboration will ever see the light of day. In the meantime, Sypro is focused on his solo career and has promised fans new music in the coming months.
For now, music fans continue to speculate about the reasons behind the song’s shelving and whether the industry dynamics at play may have overshadowed what could have been a groundbreaking collaboration.
