Nasboi shares reason for not participating in nationwide protest

Nigerian skitmaker, Nasboi reveals the reason himself and many other celebrities are refusing to join citizens in the nationwide protest.

Nasboi stated this in a now deleted Twitter post, for which he received backlash.

According to him, the last time he spoke up he was threatened and when he shared the threatening messages, netizens only laughed at him.

That strengthened his resolve to no longer speak up when it comes to protests or politics.

He also explained that celebrities do not get money from politics as many people assume.

In his words;

“Me, protest? Lol. The last time I spoke up, dem use threaten wan finish my life. I come tweeter come post the dm’s of threats, Na laugh people dey laugh for here. A lot of celebrities don’t get money off politics like you insinuate. Buh na just fear of being a scape goat.”
