One of Nigeria’s most original and emotionally honest creators, NASIRU LAWAL “Nasboi”, sits with host of the syndicated talkshow #withchude, for a deeply revealing conversation. He is known for his sharp humour, vibrant characters, and signature skits that have shaped Nigeria’s online culture, Nasboi steps away from the comedy lens to share the fuller story behind the face fans think they know. From losing both parents at a young age to navigating the disappointments of failed deals, broken promises, and the relentless pressure of digital fame, he unveils the tender, thoughtful personality behind the laughter.
Speaking with striking vulnerability, Nasboi reflects on the journey that shaped him, how his mother opened a studio for him at 16, how her business later crumbled, how he lost his father shortly after, and how each loss marked a different kind of heartbreak. He shares the highs and lows of pursuing music in Lagos: signing and losing a record deal with Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, a friend-turned-producer who gave up, a father figure who tried to help but eventually walked away, and an industry that too often waters down his worth. He also speaks about the creative fatigue of constant content creation, the pain of not being taken seriously as a musician, and his deep desire for a collaboration with Davido, “I need it, and I will do everything to get it,” he says.
In this powerful conversation, Nasboi talks about the meaning of happiness, the courage to remain authentic, and why he refuses to chase clout, even though he understands how to use it for business.
