In a post shared by @iamnasboi on X, the comedian-turned-singer expressed his frustration with Naija 102.5 FM for allegedly misrepresenting his comments about Afrobeats star Davido. Nasboi accused the station of editing an interview to make it seem as though he was disrespecting his senior colleague to gain social media traction.
The controversy stems from a clip where Nasboi said, “Davido isn’t my guy.” However, the entertainer clarified that the full statement was “Davido isn’t my guy; he is my boss,” emphasizing a relationship of respect rather than casual friendship. He warned that such “selfish” media tactics could ruin professional relationships and reputations.
Nasboi further revealed that he had avoided the podcast and interview circuit for over a year due to similar experiences. He urged media houses to take more responsibility for how they frame artist narratives, noting that even a small omission can lead to massive online bullying.
* The Whistler (News): “Nasboi complained… clickbait can ruin a person’s career. Don’t be selfish, chasing clicks.”
* Pulse Nigeria (Entertainment): “The entertainer revealed that the station allegedly edited the clip to show only part of his statement.”
Echotitbits Take:
This clash highlights the growing tension between Nigerian artists and “fast-food” media outlets that prioritize viral moments over context. While Davido hasn’t publicly responded, Nasboi’s quick damage control shows how much “boss” culture matters in the industry hierarchy. Watch for more artists to demand pre-approval of interview clips moving forward.
