Nigerian skitmaker, Nasiru Lawal, widely known as Nasboi, has criticised fellow content creator Carterefe for dismissing skit making during a recent interview.
The controversy began after Carterefe, who has transitioned from skit making to streaming, stated during an appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast that skit making “is dead.”
According to him, he had become depressed because he believed the skit-making space was “dying,” a feeling that persisted until he ventured into streaming.

Responding to the remarks during an interview with Naija FM Lagos, Nasboi disagreed strongly with Carterefe’s position. He argued that it was wrong for the streamer to speak negatively about an industry that played a major role in bringing him into the spotlight.
“Evolving is not a bad idea but talking down on the industry that made you is a crime in my books. Caterefe is my friend, we speak every time. But he is a loose talker.
“You can’t say skit making is dead. People are blowing up everyday with skit making.
“The fact that people evolved doesn’t mean that the industries they are leaving are dead,” he explained.
