The well-known musician and content creator Lawal Michael Nasiru, better known by his stage name Nasboi, has revealed how profitable social media influencer and skit maker work can be.
Prior to entering the industry, the skit maker believed that well-known skit creators like Sydney Talker were involved in online fraud due to the high income in the creative sector.
He claimed that many people still accuse skit creators and influencers of fraud because they are unaware of how profitable the creative sector is during an appearance on the Bahd And Boujee Podcast, which is co-hosted by reality personality Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe.
He said:
“Before I became a skit maker, I could beat my chest that Sydney was a Yahoo boy [internet fraudster]. Because I didn’t know how lucrative the creative industry was until I joined.
“A lot of female influencers and skit makers are also being trolled. Social media users often accuse them of sleeping with men for money but they don’t know these female influencers make a lot of money from endorsements and advertisements.
“Yahoo [internet scam] is stressful. It’s not even as lucrative as skit making. There are some skit makers who are not popular but earn huge amounts of money. I know someone who made $33,000 off a video on Facebook. He is not even popular.”
Recall that Nasboi, has claimed that he surpasses many Nigerian musicians in talent.
During his appearance on the Bahd and Boujee Podcast, hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe, Nasboi, who rejuvenated his music career with his song “Cinderella” featuring Wande Coal last year, expressed confidence that he is more skilled than several of his peers.
“I am better than a lot of musicians out there. I put my life to that sh*t. I’m way better than a lot of musicians. I know it,” he said.
On his relationship with Wizkid and Davido, Nasboi said:
“I used to be a Wizkid fan. I loved Wizkid. I love Davido so much because I am close to him. I don’t know Wizkid. I have never seen Wizkid in my life.”
