At the time, while Nasboi enjoyed a lot of engagement, he was also dragged by some who felt he had no substance to him and was only a copycat.
In a new development, Nasboi has taken to social media four years later to update his fans and critics about his growth. According to him, he is still here despite all they had to say.
In his words:
“Be reminded, I’m that guy that people said after this mimicking @davido nothing for me. lol…. 4 years later, still here. Na God! Watch me grow bigger.”
A fan then reacted to Nasboi’s post by saying that he went from mimicking Davido to performing at the singer’s wedding. The skit maker said it was all from God and not black magic.
