Comedian-turned-singer Nasboi has kicked off a bold 36-day kneeling tour across Nigeria’s 36 states in a relentless quest to secure a feature verse from top artist Davido. The tour, which started on May 28, 2025, is a public campaign blending humor, dedication, and sheer persistence — all aimed at capturing the attention of one of Africa’s biggest music stars.
Nasboi, who has been mimicking Davido’s style and music for over five years, explained that this tour represents more than just a stunt. It’s a heartfelt plea for collaboration, fueled by admiration and years of effort that have yet to yield a response from the “Fall” crooner. “This is my way of showing how serious I am,” Nasboi said in an Instagram post that announced the journey.
The kickoff took place at the Osun State Government Secretariat, where Nasboi knelt while holding a placard urging support from fans and the public. The very next day, he continued his mission with a kneeling protest at the Kano State Government House, sharing photos and videos to his growing fanbase.
“This kneeling tour is more than just a personal goal — it’s a nationwide movement,” Nasboi said. “I’m calling on Nigerians everywhere to join me by tagging @davido every day so he sees this and knows how much his verse means to me.” His posts have already sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with fans rallying behind him using hashtags like #NasboiKneelingTour and #DavidoVerseChallenge.
Music analysts are watching closely, noting how Nasboi’s creative approach challenges traditional paths in the Nigerian music industry. By blending comedy, street activism, and digital marketing, he’s carved a unique narrative that highlights the power of persistence and public engagement in today’s music scene.
Despite the lighthearted nature of the kneeling tour, Nasboi’s message carries weight: collaboration with Davido could be a major breakthrough for his career. The nationwide tour, spanning until June 30, will see Nasboi visit all state capitals, kneeling publicly as he spreads his campaign and keeps the spotlight on his plea.
As the tour unfolds, eyes are on Davido and the Nigerian music industry to see if this unusual but passionate campaign will yield the sought-after verse and perhaps inspire more artists to embrace unconventional methods to connect and collaborate.
