KneelForADavidoVerse: Nasboi Embarks on Bold 36-Day Statewide Plea for Music Collaboration with Afrobeats Star

In a bold move that has captivated fans across the nation, singer and comedian Lawal Michael, popularly known as Nasboi, has launched a heartfelt and viral campaign aimed at securing a musical collaboration with Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Davido.

Taking to Instagram, Nasboi announced his “36 States, 36 Days” campaign, pledging to kneel in each of Nigeria’s states in a symbolic gesture of passion, persistence, and prayer—for just one verse from the superstar he reverently calls “001.”

“I will be kneeling across 36 states for 36 days. I pray this dream comes to pass,” he wrote. “Please as a fan of Nasboi, just tag @davido everyday when you see the post…”

Nasboi began his campaign in Osun State, the home he shares with Davido, before moving on to Kano State the next day, making it clear that this is not a publicity stunt, but a heartfelt mission. With every kneel, he carries the hopes of many young Nigerian creatives who dream of their big break.

From Comedy to Crossover

Nasboi first shot into the limelight in 2019 through his hilarious impersonations of Davido in a series of skits he titled “Low Budget OBO.” While his goal was to draw attention to his music, fate had other plans—catapulting him into comedy stardom instead.

Since then, Nasboi has become a household name with popular characters like Akpan and Ikechukwu, but he never let go of his first love—music. His recent single “Umbrella” featuring Wande Coal made waves, reaffirming that the music flame still burns brightly.

An Unusual but Powerful Plea

While kneeling daily across the country might seem extreme to some, Nasboi’s campaign has sparked conversations about passion, persistence, and the power of creative dreams.

Some critics may call it dramatic, but let’s be honest—what does it take to get noticed in an industry flooded with talent? Sometimes, desperation becomes innovation. And Nasboi’s move is nothing if not innovative.

Why This Matters

Nasboi's journey represents every Nigerian youth who has faced the crossroads of creativity and survival, who has been forced to reinvent themselves when doors didn’t open. This campaign isn’t just for a verse—it’s a symbol of every dreamer asking for a chance.

Will Davido Answer?

Davido, known for his generosity and love for supporting upcoming talent, has yet to respond publicly. But with hashtags like #KneelForADavidoVerse and #Nasboi36States, the pressure—and the love—is building.

One thing is clear: Nasboi is not just kneeling for himself—he’s kneeling for every young artist waiting to be heard.
