Popular skit maker and singer, Nasboi, has found himself at the center of controversy after expressing his opinion on recent comments made by Nigerian music icon, Wizkid.
NEWSTODAYNG recalls that, the content creator, known for his humorous sketches and outspoken nature, criticized Wizkid for his remarks about fellow music producer Don Jazzy during a podcast appearance.
In the interview with Cool FM, Nasboi expressed his concern over Wizkid’s choice of words, particularly when he referred to Don Jazzy as an “influencer”, stressing that the context of the statement was disrespectful and warranted criticism.
However, his remarks have sparked a backlash, with Nasboi revealing that he has been inundated with death threats.
“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?” Nasboi expressed during the interview.
The threats reportedly came after Nasboi shared his views on the podcast, where he questioned whether Wizkid’s comments had offended Don Jazzy.
Despite standing by his opinion, Nasboi has faced severe backlash, with individuals sending him menacing messages, including one threatening him with a fate similar to that of his deceased brother.
“You want to die like your brother?” The message wrote.
