Nasboi has claimed that before entering the skit-making industry, he had the false impression that skitmakers were involved in online frauds, or yahoo yahoo because of their luxury lifestyle.
He notably brought Sydney Talker, his colleague, into the conversation by claiming that he thought yahoo was the source of his expensive vehicles and houses.
In an interview with the Bahd and Boujee podcast, Nasboi discussed how he discovered the financial viability of social media influence and skit-making.
He said that, before becoming a sketch creator and realizing the true nature of the business, he had thought of Sydney Talker as a Yahoo boy.
Nasboi brought attention to the difficulty experienced by many sketch creators, who are sometimes accused of dishonesty by those who are ignorant of the financial benefits that the creative business provides.
He said: “Before I became a skit maker, I could beat my chest that Sydney was a Yahoo boy [internet fraudster]. Because I didn’t know how lucrative the creative industry was until I joined.
“A lot of female influencers and skit makers are also being trolled. Social media users often accuse them of sleeping with men for money but they don’t know these female influencers make a lot of money from endorsements and advertisements.
“Yahoo [internet scam] is stressful. It’s not even as lucrative as skit making. There are some skit makers who are not popular but earn huge amounts of money. I know someone who made $33,000 off a video on Facebook. He is not even popular.”
