Renowned content creator and musician, Nasiru Bolaji, better known as Nasboi has said he initially thought that popular skit marker Sdyneytalker was a ‘Yahoo boy’.
He said this when he recently shared insights on the profitability of social media influencing and skit-making.
Speaking on the Bahd And Boujee Podcast, co-hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe, Nasboi highlighted the lucrative nature of these endeavors.
He admitted to once mistaking Sydney Talker for an internet fraudster due to the perceived high earnings of skit makers.
However, Nasboi’s perspective changed after entering the industry and experiencing its financial rewards firsthand.
Nasboi lamented that many still wrongly accuse skit makers and influencers of fraud, attributing this misconception to a lack of awareness about the substantial earning potential within the creative industry.
He said, “Before I became a skit maker, I could beat my chest that Sydney was a Yahoo boy [internet fraudster]. Because I didn’t know how lucrative the creative industry was until I joined.
“A lot of female influencers and skit makers are also being trolled. Social media users often accuse them of sleeping with men for money but they don’t know these female influencers make a lot of money from endorsements and advertisements.
“Yahoo [internet scam] is stressful. It’s not even as lucrative as skit making. There are some skit makers who are not popular but earning huge amounts of money. I know someone who made $33,000 off a video on Facebook. He is not even popular.”
