Instagram skit maker, Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, popularly known as Nasboi, has expressed dissatisfaction with the AMVCA organizers for passing him over for the 2023 award nomination.
Nasboi chastised the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) for failing to include him in the Online Social Content Creator category for the Headies’ ninth edition.
According to him, he was not recognized despite submitting a video for consideration, but other skit makers ranked lower than him won nominations.
He expressed his worries during a recent appearance on the TVC program ESplash. Nasboi asserted that his career had a more successful year in 2022 than many other content creators, and he feels he deserves at least a nomination, even if he does not win the prize.
He said;
“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.”
