Nasboi, the well-known Instagram skit maker, has recently expressed his disappointment with the organizers of the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) for overlooking him in the 2023 award nominations.
During a guest appearance on the popular TVC program ESplash, Nasboi voiced his discontentment with the AMVCA for failing to include him in the Online Social Content Creator category for the upcoming ninth edition of the Headies. Despite submitting a video for consideration, he lamented that he was not recognized, while other skit makers with lower rankings managed to secure nominations.
The skit maker stated that “You know AMVCA started involving us; content creators category exactly two years ago. That first time, I wasn’t really upset. 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.”
With genuine concern, Nasboi argued that his career had a remarkably successful year in 2022, surpassing the achievements of many other content creators. He firmly believes that his contributions to the industry warrant at least a nomination, even if he does not ultimately win the prize.
