Nasboi Says He Will Quit Entertainment After Reaching ₦5 Billion Goal
Popular Nigerian skitmaker and singer Nasiru Bolaji Lawal, widely known as Nasboi, has stirred reactions online after revealing plans to leave entertainment once he reaches his personal financial goal. The entertainer made this known in a recent post on X, where he said money matters more to him than fame.
Nasboi explained that once his wealth hits ₦5 billion, he intends to step away completely from skitmaking, music, and acting. According to him, he wants a quiet life after securing financial stability and believes his brain deserves rest from the constant pressure of entertainment work.
The content creator became popular after mimicking singer Davido’s voice, a move that earned him massive attention on Instagram and TikTok. Although he originally tried to pursue a music career, his breakthrough came through comedy skits and digital storytelling, which helped him build a strong fan base online.
Over the years, Nasboi has created several popular characters, including his Low Budget OBO persona and the widely loved Nasboi and Mama Omoh skits. These contents connected strongly with Nigerian audiences and helped him stand out in the highly competitive content creation space.
Aside from comedy, Nasboi has also explored music with songs such as Umbrella and Lover Boy, working with well-known figures in the Nigerian entertainment industry. This expansion showed his versatility, even though comedy remains the foundation of his popularity.
His success has earned him several award nominations and has placed him among Nigeria’s most recognised skitmakers. The recognition also highlights how social media content creation has grown into a respected and profitable career path in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Nasboi’s announcement has received mixed reactions online. While some fans expressed sadness at the thought of losing his entertaining content, others praised him for setting clear financial goals and thinking long-term about his future. The discussion reflects wider concerns around burnout and sustainability in the digital entertainment industry.
Many Nigerian creators have spoken openly about the pressure of constant content production and creative exhaustion. Nasboi’s statement reflects these challenges and shows that even successful entertainers are thinking about exit plans that protect their mental health and personal well-being.
The ₦5 billion target mentioned by Nasboi translates to about $3 million, a figure that could comfortably support retirement from active content creation. He has not shared details about how long it may take to reach this goal or what he plans to do after stepping away from public life.
His comments also raise broader questions about the future of Nigeria’s digital entertainment space and whether younger creators are beginning to see content creation as a temporary wealth-building path rather than a lifelong career.
