Eli Waduba is a man transformed by one moment of virality. If I were interested in star signs, I’m sure I’d find some justification for this wonderful chance occurrence in his horoscope.

Of one thing I am certain, this is not the first time Kevin Hart got painted by an artist somewhere, and Eli Waduba could simply not have been the first person to tag, “Please Retweet till Kevin Hart sees it.”
But for some reason, on February 27, 2019, Nigerian artist, Eli Yusuf Sarki also known as Eli Waduba, the boy from Kaduna, Nigeria created a hyperrealistic drawing of Kevin Hart. He then proceeded to post a picture of the art on his Twitter page, @EWaduba. The art became viral on Twitter and many people started tagging Kevin Hart to the drawing.
Before anyone could say Jackie O, Kevin Hart asked to be linked with the artist and he promised to purchase the drawing. Hart didn’t stop there, he also commissioned the drawing of three of his celebrity friends and asked Waduba to have a discussion with him via DMs. Waduba’s life has since changed.
The artist has since become a global star, featuring on international platforms like CNN, BBCand ABC News, his stock has now probably dwarfed the roof. He’s also had to put out numerous statements about a possible impostor on Instagram.
