We study the topologically twisted index of a certain Chern-Simons matter theory with SU(N) level k gauge group on a genus g Riemann surface times a circle. For this theory it is known that the logarithm of the topologically twisted index grows as N5/3 and that it matches the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of certain magnetically charged asymptotically AdS4× S6 black holes in massive type IIA supergravity. Through a combination of numerical and analytical techniques we study the subleading in N structure. We demonstrate precise analytic cancellation of terms of orders Nlog N and N1/3log N and show numerical cancellation for terms of order N. As a result, the first subleading correction is of order N2/3. Furthermore, we provide evidence for the presence of a term of the form (g-1)(7/18) log N which constitutes a microscopic prediction for the one-loop contribution coming from the massless gravitational degrees of freedom in the massive IIA black hole.
