Nasboi laments receiving death threats for criticizing Wizkid after he called Don Jazzy an 'influencer'

Popular skit creator and singer Nasboi has disclosed that he is getting death threats following his criticism of Wizkid for disparaging Don Jazzy.

Recall that Nasboi lambasted Wizkid for making fun of Don Jazzy during his latest social media meltdown while appearing as a guest on the Bahd and Boujee podcast.

The content creator claimed in an interview with Cool FM that since his appearance on the show, he has been the target of death threats.

He said, “It’s like once you’re a celebrity, you do not have an opinion. But you, who is a normal guy on the street, you have an opinion. You can decide to say you love Wizkid over Davido and that’s okay. And me, who’s a normal guy who is a celebrity, shouldn’t have the same privilege?

“Because of what I said on my recent podcast interview. It’s a simple question: Do you think Wizkid offended Don Jazzy with his statement? They asked me a direct question and I think yes. For calling him an influencer, I feel like the context wasn’t okay. I would feel bad. And because of what I said about WizKid, somebody is in my DM saying I will die like my brother.”

Wizkid provoked angry reaction from social media users after he called Don Jazzy an influencer.

When Wizkid went to his X account early on April 29, 2024, to interact with his followers, he saw a post by Ladipoe stating that Afrobeats was going through a phase of "Afrobeats is dead," while Hip Hop had survived the "Hip hop is dead" narrative, to which Wizkid had contributed.

In a response, Wizkid made fun of Mavin Record's label head Don Jazzy by saying he never talks to artists who are signed by influencers.

This sparked numerous reactions from social media users.
