Nasboi, a Nigerian singer and comedian, has opened up about the criticism and threats he received for remarks he made recently regarding Wizkid.
Recently, Big Brother Naija star Tacha hosted him on a radio show on Cool FM, where the singer made an appearance as a guest.
He highlighted the occasional lighthearted banter on social media and questioned why being a celebrity means that one does not have the right to share ideas the way a non-famous can.
He remarked, “It’s like once you’re a celebrity, you do not have an opinion. But you, who is a normal guy on the street, you have an opinion. You can decide to say you love Wizkid over Davido and that’s okay. And me, who’s a normal guy who is a celebrity, shouldn’t have the same privilege?”
Then, Nasboi talked candidly about the comments he got following his earlier interview in which he said Wizkid was wrong to refer to Don Jazzy as an influencer.
“Because of what I said in my recent podcast interview. It’s a simple question: Do you think Wizkid offended Don Jazzy with his statement? They asked me a direct question and I think yes. For calling him an influencer, I feel like the context wasn’t okay. I would feel bad. And because of what I said about Wizkid, somebody is in my DM saying I will die like my brother,” he disclosed.
Remember how Nasboi discussed his thoughts on the prior online altercation between Wizkid and Don Jazzy on the most recent episode of the Bad and Boujee podcast?
There, he said, “Wizkid is an influencer because he influences people. I used to be a Wizkid fan, I loved Wizkid and I think he was wrong for talking to Don Jazzy that way.”
