Nasty Blaq, a prominent and successful skit creator, has taken to social media to address a concerning issue prevalent within the Nigerian entertainment industry. He bravely confronts the unfair labeling of skit creators as scammers and ritualists by certain segments of the Nigerian population. Despite the appreciation and admiration that fans show for their skits, Nasty Blaq highlights the unjust treatment they receive when they decide to embrace the fruits of their labor and live a life of luxury.
Drawing a poignant comparison between comedians and musicians, Nasty Blaq emphasizes the disparity in how they are perceived when achieving success. He wonders why comedians are unfairly judged and accused of illicit activities when they acquire expensive cars and houses after years of hard work and dedication, while musicians are celebrated when they achieve similar milestones in a much shorter time frame.
In his message, Nasty Blaq acknowledges that fans enjoy the joy and laughter provided by skit creators, but he stresses the need for them to recognize that these creators also deserve to experience joy and prosperity in their own lives. The journey to success is often long and arduous for skit makers who have dedicated several years honing their craft before achieving a level of financial success that allows them to indulge in luxuries like cars and houses. Yet, instead of being celebrated, they face unwarranted allegations of engaging in fraudulent activities.
He goes on to cite the example of Seyi Vibez, a musician who attained fame and success in less than a year and was congratulated by fans when he bought a house or a car. Nasty Blaq laments the double standard that exists within the entertainment industry, where musicians are praised and admired for their achievements, while skit creators are unfairly stigmatized for similar accomplishments.
