Twitter can turn the simplest cravings into conversations that make the whole internet smile, and Nigerian rapper and producer DJ Ab just proved it again. When X user Abieyuwa posted a simple food craving that read, “suya fried rice me pleaseeee,” she probably didn’t expect it to get the attention of the Northern music star himself. But DJ Ab not only saw it — he replied in a way that had fans screaming “God when?” across timelines. His response? “If I marry you and you cook this for me on this kind Friday, I go just marry you again.”
That one comment turned an ordinary food tweet into a mini love story that had social media users blushing, laughing, and shipping the two in the replies. The tweet quickly went viral, gathering likes and reposts from fans who said it perfectly captured that rare, soft side of Nigerian men that only good food can bring out. Within minutes, DJ Ab’s name was trending as users quoted his post with playful captions like “Find you a man who talks like this” and “Suya fried rice just entered the chat.”
For many who know DJ Ab, the comment wasn’t just funny — it was totally on-brand. The Kaduna-born artist, famous for blending Hausa rap with Afrobeats, is loved for his charm and humor both on stage and online. His fans often say he’s “that guy who can rap about love and make it sound like a Hausa proverb,” and moments like this just make that reputation stronger. The way he playfully turned a simple food mention into a poetic declaration had people calling him “the Northern lover boy” once again.
Abieyuwa’s original post might have been innocent hunger talk, but the moment DJ Ab stepped in, it became a full-blown online romance audition. “Suya fried rice” itself sparked curiosity. Many fans began asking if it’s actually a thing, while others jumped to defend its existence with recipes and food photos. “It’s the most underrated Nigerian dish,” one user said, while another wrote, “Abieyuwa just created a new national treasure.” A few even swore they’d try making it that night, tagging their posts “#SuyaFriedRiceChallenge.”
Social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), has always been a playground where food, humor, and flirtation mix into viral gold. From “rice and stew very plenty” memes to “who dey cook jollof for the streets?” moments, Nigerians have a way of turning everyday hunger into headline-worthy banter. This exchange between DJ Ab and Abieyuwa fits right into that digital tradition — a mix of laughter, love, and a little seasoning of imagination.
But beyond the jokes, many users pointed out that there was something genuinely sweet about the tone of DJ Ab’s reply. It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t over-the-top — it was just the kind of lighthearted affection people crave in an online world that’s often too harsh. “This is the kind of flirting we love to see,” one commenter wrote. “No drama, no insults, just pure vibes and suya rice.” Others joked that Abieyuwa might need to actually make the meal now because “the bride price has already been paid in engagement tweets.”
What’s fascinating is how this moment became a reflection of Nigeria’s digital romance culture — that blend of humor, language, and food that connects people instantly. DJ Ab’s choice of words, especially “I go just marry you again,” struck a cultural chord. It was playful but sincere, almost like something a real husband would say in admiration of his wife’s cooking. The repetition of “marry you again” didn’t just make people laugh; it made them feel something. It hinted at appreciation, loyalty, and the universal truth that food can be an act of love.
Soon, fans began quoting famous lines from DJ Ab’s songs, joking that he might write his next single inspired by suya fried rice. Memes followed, featuring wedding scenes captioned “All because of suya fried rice.” Some creative users even photoshopped mock wedding posters featuring DJ Ab and Abieyuwa, with captions like “The Suya Rice Union — October 2025.” It became one of those perfect examples of how a casual social media exchange can spiral into a full-blown community event online.
Interestingly, this also drew attention to DJ Ab’s growing influence beyond music. He’s not just a rapper anymore; he’s part of Nigeria’s wider cultural conversation. His ability to connect with fans — whether through deep lyrics or lighthearted replies — keeps him relevant in a fast-changing entertainment scene. He’s among the few artists who balance street credibility with everyday relatability. And moments like this show why fans love him: he’s approachable, funny, and never afraid to engage.
Abieyuwa, for her part, seemed just as surprised as everyone else by the reaction. Though she didn’t immediately reply, her mentions were flooded with fans urging her to respond, with some even joking, “Sis, don’t waste time — the dowry is ready.” By the next day, her tweet had become a mini landmark on Nigerian Twitter, a testament to how small posts can snowball into massive cultural moments.
As for the suya fried rice itself, the online debate about its existence and recipe took on a life of its own. Some claimed it’s basically fried rice with a twist — diced suya mixed in for that smoky, peppery flavor. Others argued it’s “sacrilege” to mix fried rice with suya, calling it “two kings in one pot.” But in the end, everyone agreed on one thing: the dish had earned its moment in the spotlight thanks to DJ Ab’s poetic hunger declaration.
Food and love have always gone hand in hand, but leave it to Nigerians to make it trend-worthy. This small, sweet exchange reminded people of the joy of connection — how a few words typed on a screen can make thousands of strangers laugh and dream. In a world where online spaces often feel toxic and divided, it’s refreshing to see something simple bring so much warmth.
“If I marry you and you cook this for me on this kind Friday, I go just marry you again.” It’s more than just a playful line now. It’s the kind of quote that belongs on mugs, T-shirts, or maybe even the back cover of DJ Ab’s next album. It’s the kind of line that makes people believe that sometimes, love — or at least laughter — really can be found in a tweet about suya fried rice.
And if you think about it, that’s the beauty of Nigerian Twitter. One minute it’s politics, the next it’s a viral food fantasy turned love story. The line between humor and heart always blurs, and out of that blur comes something real — connection. So maybe, just maybe, the moral of the story is simple: post about your cravings, because you never know who might reply. Maybe your own DJ Ab is out there somewhere, ready to “marry you again” over a plate of suya fried rice.
