Nasboi says he’ll quit entertainment after hitting 5 billion target

Nigerian skitmaker and singer Nasiru Bolaji Lawal, popularly known as Nasboi, has garnered attention on social media after saying he would quit entertainment and slip into oblivion once he reaches a personal financial target.

In a recent post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Nasboi made it clear that wealth matters more to him than fame.

“I will choose having money over being famous… I no fit try this kind thing for my next life again. Once my money complete 5 billion, I don disembark. I no do again… No skit, no music, no acting. Make brain rest,” he wrote, expressing his desire for a quieter life after securing financial stability.

Nasboi, whose real name is Nasiru Bolaji Lawal, is one of Nigeria’s leading online content creators. He first gained attention for mimicking Davido’s voice, a signature act that helped him grow a large following across Instagram and TikTok.

Before turning to comedy, he had attempted to break into the music industry but later found greater success through skitmaking.

Over the years, he has built a strong digital presence with popular characters such as his “Low Budget OBO” persona and the widely circulated Nasboi and Mama Omoh skits.

He has also expanded into music with tracks like Umbrella and Lover Boy, while collaborating with major names in the Nigerian entertainment scene.

His work has earned him multiple award nominations and solidified his place as one of the country’s most recognised skitmakers.
