Popular content creator and musician Nasboi has announced his exit from skit making. The entertainer, whose real name is Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, shared the news in a heartfelt post on Instagram, on Monday, July 14.
In the post, he thanked his fans and colleagues for their support over the past five years. He said the journey had been amazing but that it was time to move on. He captioned his post:
“I QUIT SKIT MAKING 🙏.
For the past 5 years, I’ve dedicated myself to creating skits using laughter, storytelling, and real-life moments to entertain. This journey has been nothing short of amazing.”
Nasboi, who started out by mimicking singer Davido before growing into a full-blown comedy star, said he came to this decision after deep reflection and prayer. He added:
“After a lot of reflection and prayer, I have decided to quit skit making. It’s time to grow as an artist.”
He also thanked everyone who supported him on the journey and prayed for blessings on his fans and supporters.
The decision comes at a time when Nasboi has been gaining momentum as a singer, with songs like Umbrella and Lover Boy earning praise. Many fans believe this move is a signal that he’s now ready to fully focus on music.
Nasboi’s exit marks the end of an era in Nigerian online comedy, but also the start of a new chapter for one of its most creative voices.
Meanwhile, in June, a recent online clash between Nasboi and Sabinus caught many fans off guard. What seemed like harmless teasing quickly turned sour when Sabinus warned Nasboi to steer clear of him.
In response, Nasboi openly mocked Sabinus’s comedy style, suggesting his jokes always ended on a sad note.
Things got more intense when Sabinus questioned why Nasboi abandoned skit-making for music. Nasboi didn’t hold back either, he clapped back by challenging Sabinus to try music himself and even threw in a ₦1 million dare, saying Sabinus could only manage an intro and outro on a track.
What started as banter soon felt like genuine tension between two of Nigeria’s biggest comic stars.
