IPhone asks to log in with a different Apple ID

I have two different Apple ID's on my iPhone.


I have purchased a new iPhone to replace my old one and I have used the back-up option to restore all the settings of the old one.


it now constantly asks me to log in with a different Apple ID that belongs to a friend. He has never logged in on my phone and my previous iPhone never asked for it.


The only exchange I had with him was copying some songs that I uploaded onto iTunes. I have deleted all of them but I still receive the same request.


Can anybody help me please?

If he really never logged in with his ID it sounds to me like there is still something he downloaded, such as an app, that is still on the device. When you transfer data to a new iPhone this does not include the actual app files. Those are redownloaded from the app store and if bought one with his ID then it will ask for his ID when restoring the phone.
