Singer and skit maker Nasboi has alleged that he received a death threat following his criticism of Wizkid’s recent remarks aimed at Don Jazzy.
Recall that in April, Wizkid mocked Davido and Don Jazzy on X.
The Essence singer called Don Jazzy an “influencer” while taunting Davido with a video of him on his knees, pleading and crying.
Wizkid’s post attracted criticism against him on social media.
In an interview with the Bahd And Boujee Podcast, Nasboi voiced his disapproval, stating that Wizkid was “wrong” to label Don Jazzy as an “influencer“.
But in a recent chat with Cool FM, the skit maker claimed he was sent a death threat for “merely expressing my opinion”.
“It is like once you are a celebrity, you do not have an opinion. But you, who is a normal guy on the street, you have an opinion. You can decide to say you love Wizkid over Davido and that is okay. And me, who is a normal guy who is a celebrity, should not have the same privilege?” Nasboi asked.
“Because of what I said in my recent podcast interview. It is a simple question: Do you think Wizkid offended Don Jazzy with his statement? They asked me a direct question and I think yes. For calling him an influencer, I feel like the context was not okay. I would feel bad. And because of what I said about WizKid, somebody is in my DM saying I will die like my brother,” the comedian added.
Nasboi, whose real name is Nasiru Bolaji Lawal, was born in Port Harcourt in 1992.
His 20-year-old brother died in July 2023.
