Nasboi berated AMVCA
Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, also known as Nasboi on Instagram, has expressed his displeasure with the AMVCA organizers for passing him over for the 2023 award nomination.
Nasboi criticised the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) for failing to include him in the Headies’ ninth edition’s Online Social Content Creator category.
He claims that despite submitting a video for consideration, he was not recognized, while other skit creators ranked lower than him received nominations.
During a recent appearance on the TVC show ESplash, he aired his concerns. Nasboi claimed that his career had a more successful year in 2022 than many other content creators, and he believes he deserves to be nominated even if he does not win the honor.
He stated; ”
“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.”
