“I deserved it, better than nominated skit makers” — Nasboi berates AMVCA

Notable skit maker and singer, Lawal Nasiru Bolaji better known as Nasboi, expresses disappointment with the AMVCA organizers for snubbing him at the 2023 award nomination.

Nasboi berated African Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) for not including him in the Online Social Content Creator category for the ninth edition of the Headies awards.

Despite submitting a video for consideration, Nasboi was not acknowledged, while other skit makers who ranked lower than him received nominations.

He voiced his concerns during a recent appearance on the TVC program ESplash. Nasboi firmly asserted that his career had a more successful year in 2022 compared to many other skit makers, and he believes he deserves recognition through at least a nomination, even if he does not win the award.

“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 I don’t win, I’m fine. But I just needed to get a nomination because I deserved it.”
