Multi-talented Nigerian entertainer Nasiru Lawal, widely known as Nasboi, has shared a candid perspective on the realities of stardom and his eventual exit from the industry. In a recent update on X (formerly Twitter), the skitmaker-turned-singer emphasized that he places a much higher value on financial wealth than on popularity. He admitted that the burdens of fame are exhausting to the point that he would not wish to experience them in another lifetime.
The Retirement Plan
Nasboi revealed that he has a specific financial milestone in mind that will trigger his retirement. He intends to completely withdraw from all forms of entertainment, including acting, music, and comedy skits once he secures a net worth of ₦5 billion. His goal is to trade the hustle of the creative industry for peace of mind and rest.
In his words, he wrote:
“I will choose having money over being famous… I no fit try this kind thing for my next life again. Once my money complete 5 billion, I don disembark. I no do again… No skit, no music, no acting. Make brain rest.”
Public Reaction
This admission has sparked a conversation among his followers. While some fans empathized with the overwhelming nature of celebrity life, others encouraged him to keep working until he hits his financial target.
