Nasboi’s Wild Ride: A Near-Fatal Crash in His Quest for Davido’s Verse
Nasboi’s Fatal Car Crash While Touring Nigeria to Beg Davido for a Collab
Arising star, a beat-up car, and a dream so big it’s worth risking life and limb. That’s the story of Nigerian comedian-turned-singer Lawal Nasiru, better known as Nasboi, who’s been tearing up the headlines after surviving a heart-stopping car accident on June 3, 2025. His mission? To crisscross Nigeria’s 36 states, kneeling in each one to beg Afrobeats king Davido for a collaboration. But when his car slammed into a parked trailer between Jos and Bauchi, the whole country held its breath. This is the tale of Nasboi’s daring journey, his brush with death, and the emotional rollercoaster that’s got fans buzzing.
A Dream Worth Chasing
Nasboi’s no stranger to the hustle. He first caught the public’s eye back in 2019, mimicking Davido’s voice and mannerisms in viral skits that had everyone laughing. But comedy was just the launchpad—his real passion has always been music. After dropping his hit single *Umbrella* with Wande Coal in 2023, Nasboi’s been climbing the charts, but he’s got his sights set on the ultimate prize: a verse from Davido, the “OBO” himself. For five years, Nasboi tried to get the Afrobeats star’s attention the usual way - DMs, maybe a few hopeful tags. No luck. So, he decided to go big or go home.
Last week, Nasboi kicked off an audacious 36-day “kneeling tour” across Nigeria. The plan? Hit every state, drop to his knees at government secretariats, and hold up a placard pleading for Davido’s collaboration. He started in Osun, Davido’s home state, then hit Kano, Imo, Anambra, Katsina, Niger, and Plateau. By day seven, he was a social media sensation, with fans cheering his dedication and celebrities like BNXN chiming in. But the road, as it turns out, had other plans.
The Crash That Shook Nigeria
On June 3, 2025, disaster struck. While driving from Jos to Bauchi, Nasboi’s car smashed into a stationary trailer, leaving the front end mangled beyond recognition. A video of the wreckage went viral, showing the crumpled vehicle wedged under the truck. Fans flooded social media with panic and prayers, fearing the worst. Miraculously, Nasboi and his team walked away without a scratch. “Thank God for life,” he captioned an Instagram post, his voice shaking but grateful in a live video that followed.
In the video, Nasboi was his usual charismatic self, cracking jokes despite the scare. “This could’ve happened in Lagos, too,” he said, laughing nervously. “I don’t even know how it happened; I’m just laughing.” But then came the gut-punch: “At this point, I think I need to give up. Thank God nobody was injured or killed. We are all good.” The words hit hard. Was Nasboi, the guy who’d been kneeling across Nigeria for his dream, really ready to throw in the towel?
Fans Rally, Davido Stays Silent
The accident sparked a firestorm online. Fans poured out their hearts, some begging Nasboi to quit the dangerous tour, others urging him to keep going. “Thank God you’re safe, but please go home!” wrote one follower, echoing singer BNXN’s plea. Another fan, Lawal Michael, posted, “Davido has heard you loud and clear by now. If it’s in God’s plan, the verse will come!” Meanwhile, some speculated the tour was a publicity stunt for a new song, but the crumpled car said otherwise - this was real.
As of June 4, 2025, Davido hasn’t publicly responded to the accident or Nasboi’s campaign. The silence is deafening, especially after Nasboi’s bold moves went viral. Fans are tagging Davido relentlessly, hoping the Afrobeats star will acknowledge the hustle. “@davido, please help @iamnasboi, let him come back to Lagos!” one fan pleaded. Others are rooting for Nasboi to finish what he started, with comments like, “Your next great chapter is about to unfold!”
What’s Next for Nasboi?
Seven days in, with 29 states left, Nasboi’s at a crossroads. The accident has raised serious questions about the risks of his journey. Nigeria’s roads aren’t exactly a walk in the park, and fans are worried about his safety. Yet, Nasboi’s resilience is undeniable. Despite his “I need to give up” comment, sources close to him hint he’s still determined to keep going. After all, this is the guy who turned Davido impressions into a career and a comedy skit into a music hit.
Will Davido answer the call? Will Nasboi push through the remaining states, placard in hand? Or will this near-tragedy convince him to hang up his tour boots? One thing’s for sure: Nasboi’s story has Nigeria hooked. His passion, his humor, and his sheer guts have turned a quest for a verse into a saga of survival and dreams. As he recovers and decides his next move, the nation’s watching, rooting for a happy ending - preferably with a Davido feature on the track.
