I thought Sydney Talker was into fraud – Nasboi

Popular skitmaker cum Musician, Nasboi, has revealed that he once believed that his colleague, Sydney Talker was into internet fraud.

Nasboi revealed this during a chat with Tolanibaj and Moet Abebe on the Bahd and Boujee podcast, where he opened up on how he found that social media influencing and skit-making are more lucrative.

Nasboi said because of the lucrativeness of the creative industry, he used to think and even concluded that Sydney Talker was a yahoo boy until he became a skit-maker himself.

He pointed out the challenge many skit-makers face as Nigerians still allege them and influencers of fraud because they are unaware of how well the industry pays.

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.”
