Skit maker and singer, Nasiru Lawal, better known as Nasboi, has called out organisers of the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) for snubbing him during the ninth edition of the show.
He made this known during a recent episode of TVC’s programme, ESplash, where he claimed he submitted a video for the ‘Online Social Content Creator’ category of the award but was overlooked.
According to Nasboi, he had a better 2022 than most skit makers and deserved at least a nomination even if he does not win the award.
He went on to argue that the skits he made last year were way better than that of those who eventually got picked.

Speaking during the chat, he said, “You know AMVCA started involving us; content creators category exactly two years ago. That first time, I wasn’t really upset [that I was not nominated]. But this second time if AMVCA is watching, I deserved a nomination.
“In the first year, my friend that got a nomination said, bro, ‘We submitted [our videos to AMVCA for nomination consideration].’ I’m like, okay, that makes sense. I can understand why I was omitted.
“But 2023, this one that just passed, Nasboi was fire in 2022. I deserved a nomination. This is a humble brag. 2022, I was on fire. I made amazing contents; funny and inspirational. Then, I submitted a video [to AMVCA for nomination consideration]. A video way better than a lot of the videos that were nominated.
“You know, when I saw the nominations. I expected a nomination. I want to win but even if I don’t win, I’m fine. But I just needed to get a nomination because I deserved it.”
The comic actor also revealed he cries whenever he fails to get inspiration to create content during the interview.
“I don’t have scriptwriters. All my skits are my brain work. Everything is me.
“People make it look like, ‘you are so talented, it [inspiration] just come.’ It’s a lie o.
“Sometimes, I could stay like three weeks and I don’t get a single content. A lot of people are not so emotional, my emotion is on the high side. So, when I don’t get content, I cry. I’m not lying to you. It gets that bad. I feel like, ah! Dem don collect my talent. Two weeks and nothing is funny to me. It happens.” Nasboi added.
