Nigerian skitmaker Nasboi recently revealed why he and many other celebrities are refraining from joining the nationwide protest. In a now-deleted Twitter post, he cited personal reasons for his decision and faced backlash as a result.
Nasboi explained that after his previous attempt to speak out, he received threats and was met with ridicule from netizens when he shared the threatening messages. This experience has led him to decide against participating in protests or political discourse in the future.
He also clarified that celebrities do not benefit financially from politics, contrary to popular belief.
In his words; “Me, protest? Lol. The last time I spoke up, dem use threaten wan finish my life. I come tweeter come post the dm’s of threats, Na laugh people dey laugh for here. A lot of celebrities don’t get money off politics like you insinuate. Buh na just fear of being a scape goat.”
