Davido’s manager Asa Asika recently revealed that despite not having a degree, he pays monthly salaries of over a hundred staff.

The 32-year-old artist manager disclosed this in a recent interview with social media influencer Smartmoneyarese.

Asika dropped out of university.

“Everyone’s story is different, everyone’s path is different, people always feel as if you have to go a certain way to get a certain goal” he said.

“One of my companies pays 45 people’s salaries a month and that’s only one of the companies I run. If I do the maths, I probably pay about 100 people salaries a month and I have no degree” he added.

Asika said he has no regret as most of his close friends earn “peanuts” despite being Ph.D holders.

“Without being condescending or trying to sound cocky, I have friends who have gone to school and have PhDs now and they are working a 9 to 5 and making peanuts,” he said.

Asika has been managing Davido since 2012, although the duo fell out in 2013 and reconciled in 2017. Today, the ‘Dami Duro’ crooner is approximately worth 27 million dollars and has been managed by Asika from 2017 till date.

Former housemate in the Big Brother Naija, Pepper Dem edition, Esther Agunbiade, told Entertainment Jamboree that she did not regret saying no to Frodd when he asked her out.

According to Esther, she said, in as much as I am very happy for Frodd, I did not regret turning him down when he asked me out then. Frodd needed me so seriously when we were in the house, but I declined it. He thought it would be more easier for him after we left the house. After the show, I maintained my stance by telling him that I am not interested. I cherished how he hustle his way to be successful in life, because he is successful with happy family too. However, there’s no regret at all turning him down, because my man is also a successful business man.
