Popular Nigerian skitmaker and musician, Lawal Nasiru—widely known by his stage name Nasboi—has narrowly escaped a serious road accident during his ambitious nationwide tour aimed at securing a music collaboration with Afrobeats icon, David Adeleke, also known as Davido.
Nasboi, who has built a strong fan base through his comedy sketches and musical talent, had embarked on a daring road trip across all 36 states of Nigeria in an effort to get the attention of the global music star for a feature on his upcoming track. Unfortunately, during this bold quest, his journey was interrupted by a frightening collision.
Accident Involving Parked Trailer Sparks Alarm
On Tuesday, Nasboi took to social media to reveal that his vehicle crashed into a stationary trailer. While he did not specify the exact location of the incident, he confirmed that it occurred while he was still actively touring the country in pursuit of his musical dream.
The news quickly drew a wave of concern from fans, celebrities, and fellow content creators who flooded social media platforms with messages of support and relief. Many praised his determination while urging him to prioritize his safety.
Nasboi Reassures Fans After the Crash
Shortly after the accident, Nasboi addressed his fans directly through a live video stream on his social media pages. Appearing calm and composed despite the incident, he assured his followers that no one was injured in the crash.
“This could have happened in Lagos, too,” he said in the live session. “I don’t even know how it happened; I’m just laughing. At this point, I think I need to give up. Thank God nobody was injured or killed. We are all good.”
His statement reflected a mix of relief and resilience, as he acknowledged the risks associated with such a high-stakes personal mission while maintaining a sense of humor about the ordeal.
A Bold Mission Born Out of Determination
Nasboi’s quest to reach Davido has captivated fans in recent days. The multi-talented entertainer launched a one-man campaign across Nigeria, documenting his visits to various cities in the hopes that the buzz would reach Davido and lead to a collaboration. His social media posts throughout the journey showcased both his dedication and his belief in the power of grassroots effort.
While many have applauded his hustle, others have expressed concern about the potential dangers of such a road trip, especially considering the unpredictable nature of Nigeria’s road networks and security challenges.
Fans Urge Caution, Praise His Spirit
Following the accident, thousands of Nasboi’s fans flooded X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok with messages. Many commended his courage and perseverance, while also advising him to reassess his strategy and prioritize safety.
One fan wrote, “Nasboi is the definition of hungry and humble. But please bro, don’t die for a feature. Davido will hear you eventually.”
Another added, “Sending love and prayers to Nasboi. This guy has shown serious passion, but we want him alive to see his dreams come true.”
Will Davido Respond?
As the incident gains traction online, attention is now shifting to Davido. Known for supporting young talents and often engaging directly with fans on social media, many expect that the global superstar will eventually acknowledge Nasboi’s effort.
Some fans have already tagged Davido on social media, urging him to give the skitmaker a chance, especially after such a near-tragic moment.
Whether or not the collaboration materializes remains to be seen, but Nasboi’s story is already being hailed as an example of relentless ambition and the power of digital-era self-promotion.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Nasboi?
While Nasboi hinted at possibly ending the nationwide tour following the accident, fans remain hopeful that he will continue to create content and release new music regardless of the outcome of the Davido campaign.
For now, the most important news is that he is safe and recovering, with no reported injuries to him or his team. As he continues to process the accident and weigh his next steps, one thing is certain: Nasboi has captured the attention of a nation and sparked a broader conversation about passion, perseverance, and the lengths artists will go to chase their dreams.
