I Used To Think Sydney Was A Yahoo Boy- Nasboi Confesses
Before joining the skit-making business, Nasboi said he held a mistaken belief that skitmakers were involved in internet scams, commonly known as Yahoo Yahoo, due to their apparent wealth.
He specifically mentioned his colleague, Sydney Talker, attributing his luxury cars and mansions to cyber fraud.
During a conversation with Tolanibaj and Moet Abebe on the Bahd and Boujee podcast, Nasboi revealed how he came to realize the profitability of social media influencing and skit-making.
He confessed that he used to consider Sydney Talker a Yahoo boy until he became a skit-maker and understood the true nature of the industry.
Nasboi highlighted the challenge faced by many skit-makers who are often accused of fraudulent activities by people who are unaware of the financial rewards that the creative industry offers.
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.”
