Popular content creator and singer Nasboi has opened up on how lucrative social media influencing and skitmaking is.
According to him, because of the lucrativeness of the creative industry, he had thought popular skit makers like Sydney Talker were into Internet fraud until he joined the industry.
Speaking on the recent episode of Bahd And Boujee Podcast co-hosted by reality star Tolanibaj and actress Moet Abebe, he said many people still accuse skit makers and influencers of fraud because they don’t know how lucrative the creative industry is.

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.”
