Superstar Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke professionally known as Davido has taken to social media to react after fast rising singer Nasboi expressed his desire to work with the Afrobeats star on a new song project in the most controversial way.
In a bid to get the singer to work with him, Nasboi, who came into limelight when he started mimicking Davido in his skits, shared a photo of himself kneeling at Osun/Kano State government secretariats, with a placard that reads Day 1, Osun State, Day 2 Kano State, respectively.
The skitmaker vows that he would kneel in front of all government houses across the 36 states in Nigeria to get a verse from Davido.

“1 state down! 35 more to go. Osun State first because were both from Osun”, he wrote.
“In 2019, I started mimicking Davido to get his attention for my music, but the videos blew me up as a comedian.. (Gods plan) 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. Please as a fan of nasboi, just tag @davido everyday when you see the post…. Day 001 Osun state, 35 states to go,” he said in another post
Davido, however, in his response did not reject or accept Nasboi’s request for a music verse, rather he commented ‘Set up’ on the post.
