Shortly after Asa and Leona’s wedding made headlines, a Facebook user, Taiye Jiboluwa, shared his observations about Davido’s manager and the women he’s been in relationships with.
According to the netizen, Igbo men are not just after Yoruba women, but they are after the best of them. He claimed that after Asa stopped dating DJ Cuppy, he pursued another Yoruba lady from a wealthy family, Leona Adesanya.
Jibioluwa added that despite Asa Asika not having a degree, he got a wealthy Yoruba woman like Leona with a master’s degree from a top university in the UK. He then claimed that Igbo men like Asa were planting themselves in powerful and influential Yoruba families while the women involved were content with marrying a celebrity.
The Facebook user advised Yoruba people to be suspicious before speaking about how a Jewish billionaire would never marry off his daughter to a non-Jewish man. Jiboluwa wrote:
“These Igbo guys are not just after Yoruba women, they are after the best of them. After losing DJ Cuppy, this Asika set eyes on another Yoruba lady that came from a super rich family, Leona Adesanya. With no degree and Leona with masters degree from a top UK varsity and a super rich dad, they are planting themselves in powerful and influential Yoruba families through their daughters while those ones think they are dating some celebrity. Why DJ Cuppy, why Leona Adesanya, another Yoruba billionaire daughter? See the agenda? Yoruba e fun Ra o. A Jewish billionaire would not give his daughter to a non-Jewish man just cos they want to preserve wealth and keep it in the family. Yorubas, I’m afraid, aren’t thinking of their future. We are too NIGERIAN for my liking.”
