Sydney Talker and Nasboi
Nasboi, the popular Nigerian content creator and singer, has spoken up on how lucrative social media influencing and skitmaking is.
He said because of the lucrativeness of the creative industry, he thought popular skit makers like Sydney Talker were into Internet fraud until he joined the industry.
Appearing on the Bahd And Boujee Podcast co-hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe, he said many people still accuse skit makers and influencers of fraud because they don’t know how lucrative the creative industry is.
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 earn huge amounts of money. I know someone who made $33,000 off a video on Facebook. He is not even popular.”
