Popular comedian, Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, aka Nasboi, has accused organisers of the African Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA, of ignoring him in the Online Social Content Creator category, in the award’s ninth edition.
The skit maker complained that the video he submitted for nomination was not even recognised, whereas skit makers with lower contents were recognised.
He made this revelation during a TVC’s programme, ESplash, recently.
He boasted that he had an excellent career in 2022 than some of his contemporaries in the industry, insisting he should have been nominated, at least once even if he was not going to win the award.
He said, “You know AMVCA started involving us; content creators category exactly two years ago. That first time, I wasn’t really upset [that I was not nominated]. But this second time if AMVCA is watching, I deserved a nomination.
“In the first year, my friend that got a nomination said, bro, ‘We submitted [our videos to AMVCA for nomination consideration].’ I’m like, okay, that makes sense. I can understand why I was omitted.
“But 2023, this one that just passed, Nasboi was fire in 2022. I deserved a nomination. This is a humble brag. 2022, I was on fire. I made amazing contents; funny and inspirational. Then, I submitted a video [to AMVCA for nomination consideration]. A video way better than a lot of the videos that were nominated.
“You know, when I saw the nominations. I expected a nomination. I want to win but I don’t win, I’m fine. But I just needed to get a nomination because I deserved it.”
