Nigeria has many amazingly creative people. The visibility power of social media is bringing them to the fore as they latch on it.

A Nigerian artist with the Twitter handle @kemz_Emmanuel got international attention after he did a pencil drawing of American artiste DJ Khaled and posted it on the micro-messaging platform on Monday, August 17.

In the post, he made sure he tagged the American DJ as he asked people to help him retweet his work so that the disc jockey maestro can see it.

A day after on Tuesday, August 18, DJ Khaled put Emmanuel in the spotlight as he quoted his tweet and added “Wow amazing!”, broadcasting to his over 5 million Twitter followers.

Since then, the post has gone viral, drawing comments on the young Nigerian’s work from all corners of the world.

Emmanuel shared three pictures that well captured the production process of the art. Looking at them, one can see how he progressed to get a final artistical copy. See the tweet below:
