Afrobeats singer and comedian Nasboi has embarked on an extraordinary mission to secure a music collaboration with superstar Davido, blending creativity, humility, and passion in a move that has captivated social media.
In what he calls a “heartfelt plea,” Nasboi announced that he will kneel in front of government buildings across all 36 states of Nigeria for 36 days — each day in a different state — holding a placard with a simple message: “A verse from Davido.”
The Campaign Begins in Osun State
The campaign kicked off in Osun State, Davido’s home state, where Nasboi was seen kneeling in front of the government secretariat. Clutching his handwritten placard, he signaled the start of what may be one of the most unusual and persistent quests for a music feature in recent times.
“In 2019, I started mimicking Davido to get his attention for my music, but the videos blew me up as a comedian… (God’s plan),” Nasboi shared on Instagram.
“I am back to plea with 001. Bless me with a verse for this song king. I will be kneeling across 36 states for 36 days. I pray this dream comes to pass.”
From Skits to Soundwaves
Nasboi rose to fame mimicking Davido’s voice in viral comedy skits, a persona that launched him into the limelight. However, music has always remained his first love. This campaign, according to him, is not just about virality — it’s about fulfilling a long-standing dream and connecting with his musical inspiration on a professional level.
Davido Reacts
The DMW boss, known for his generosity and playful spirit, has already responded to the campaign. In the comments section, Davido wrote simply:
“set up 😂.”
Although lighthearted, fans are hopeful that the reply is a sign that a collaboration may indeed be in the works.
Day Two: Kano State
True to his word, Nasboi has already posted a second image from Kano State, kneeling with the same placard. The campaign’s consistency, sincerity, and theatrical flair have drawn admiration from fans and fellow entertainers alike.
Social Media Applauds His Persistence
The bold move has sparked a wave of support online, with fans tagging Davido in comments and reposting the images to boost visibility. Many have praised Nasboi’s creativity, commitment, and genuine love for music.
What’s Next?
With 34 states to go, Nasboi’s journey is just beginning — but it’s already making waves. Whether or not Davido grants the verse, the campaign has reinforced Nasboi’s position as one of the most passionate and determined voices in Nigeria’s entertainment scene.
