Nasboi berates AMVCA following nomination snub

Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, aka Nasboi, a popular skit creator and musician, has chastised the organisers of the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA, for failing to nominate him in the Online Social Content Creator category in the award’s ninth edition.

The artist said that he submitted a video for candidature but did not receive a mention, despite the fact that skit makers below him were recognised.

He revealed this lately when appearing on TVC’s ESplash programme.

Nasboi argued that he had a better 2022 than other skit makers, and that he deserved at least a nomination even if he didn’t win the award.

He said, “You know AMVCA started involving us; content creators category exactly two years ago. That first time, I wasn’t really upset [that I was not nominated]. But this second time if AMVCA is watching, I deserved a nomination.

“In the first year, my friend that got a nomination said, bro, ‘We submitted [our videos to AMVCA for nomination consideration].’ I’m like, okay, that makes sense. I can understand why I was omitted.

“But 2023, this one that just passed, Nasboi was fire in 2022. I deserved a nomination. This is a humble brag. 2022, I was on fire. I made amazing contents; funny and inspirational. Then, I submitted a video [to AMVCA for nomination consideration]. A video way better than a lot of the videos that were nominated.

“You know, when I saw the nominations. I expected a nomination. I want to win but I don’t win, I’m fine. But I just needed to get a nomination because I deserved it.”
