In a story that reads like a modern-day fairy tale mixed with grit, sweat, and relentless hustle, Nigeria's beloved skit maker-turned-musician Nasboi has finally gotten the recognition he so desperately craved — and deserved. Global Afrobeat icon Davido has officially responded to Nasboi’s viral plea for a collaboration with the words that sent fans into a frenzy: “I got you soon. E go sup.”
This moment comes after months of consistent and almost theatrical effort by Nasboi, who took an unconventional route to get Davido’s attention — literally. The fast-rising singer embarked on a cross-country music tour, performing in all 36 states of Nigeria, all the while documenting his journey, with a singular mission: to prove his worth and convince Davido to give him a shot.
Nasboi, known for his comic skits and his transformation into a serious music contender, dropped his emotionally charged hit "Umbrella" earlier this year. The song struck a deep chord with fans and was widely interpreted as a subtle callout to Davido, whom Nasboi has publicly admired for years. Despite the attention the track generated, a response from Davido remained elusive — until now.
The drama peaked earlier this week when Nasboi, in one of his numerous social media posts, openly declared that he had done everything in his power to show he was ready for a feature. “36 states. Countless shows. Zero rest. All I want is for OBO to hear me,” he wrote. The plea did not go unnoticed.
Davido, fresh off a global tour and often accused of being unreachable, shocked fans when he quote-tweeted Nasboi’s latest post with the words: “I got you soon. E go sup.” The tweet immediately went viral, trending across Twitter (now X), TikTok, and Instagram as fans erupted in celebration.
Social media has since exploded with reactions. “This is more than music; this is about grit and grace,” one user wrote. Another said, “Davido finally listening to Nasboi is a win for every young Nigerian hustler with a dream.”
Whether this collaboration ends up being a chart-topping banger or simply a symbolic moment, one thing is clear — Nasboi’s story has reignited conversations around persistence, authenticity, and the sheer power of social media-driven hustle in today’s entertainment industry.
As fans eagerly await the promised track, the big question now is: When will it drop? If Davido’s history is anything to go by, when he says “E go sup,” it always does.
