Why I thought Sydney Talker was ‘yahoo boy’ – Nasboi

• Nasboi has revealed that he believed fellow skit maker, Sydney Talker was an internet fraudster.
• The skit maker recently turned musician made the disclosure on a recent podcast with media personality Moet Abebe and BBNaija’s TolaniBaj.
• Nasboi added that people should banish the idea that skit making isn’t lucrative.

Budding Nigerian content creator cum musician, Lawal Michael aka Nasboi has revealed that he was once of the notion that his colleague, Sydney Talker was into cyber fraud aka Yahoo Yahoo.

He made this known during a chat with Tolanibaj and Moet Abebe on the Bahd and Boujee podcast, where he opened up on how he discovered that social media influencing and skit-making are 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 people still accuse them and influencers of fraud because they don’t know how well the creative industry pays.

Nasboi who also spoke about the music industry beef especially between Wizkid and Davido 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.”
