Popular entertainer Nasboi, known for his hilarious skits and music, is under fire after speaking out against Wizkid’s recent comments about Don Jazzy.
The controversy arose when Wizkid appeared on the Bahd And Boujee Podcast and made remarks that some perceived as disrespectful towards Don Jazzy, a respected figure in the music industry.
Nasboi, during an interview with Cool FM, expressed his disapproval of Wizkid’s behavior and questioned the implications of being a celebrity with regards to freedom of expression.
He highlighted that while everyone should be entitled to their opinions, it seems that celebrities are often judged more harshly for expressing theirs.
The backlash against Nasboi has been severe, with him revealing that he has been receiving death threats via direct messages on social media platforms.
Despite simply expressing his views during the podcast interview, Nasboi has found himself the target of online harassment and intimidation.
He said, “It’s like once you’re a celebrity, you do not have an opinion. But you, who is a normal guy on the street, you have an opinion. You can decide to say you love Wizkid over Davido and that’s okay. And me, who’s a normal guy who is a celebrity, shouldn’t have the same privilege?
“Because of what I said on my recent podcast interview. It’s a simple question: Do you think Wizkid offended Don Jazzy with his statement? They asked me a direct question and I think yes. For calling him an influencer, I feel like the context wasn’t okay. I would feel bad. And because of what I said about WizKid, somebody is in my DM saying I will die like my brother.”
