Popular Nigerian comedian, singer, and content creator Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, widely known as Nasboi, has revealed his intention to walk away from the spotlight once he achieves a personal financial milestone of ₦5 billion.
In a candid interview that has since gone viral, the “Umbrella” crooner shared his unconventional long-term vision, stating:
“In my next life, I don’t want to be famous. This life, I’m managing it because I need the money. Once I hit ₦5 billion, I’m out. I’ll delete everything—Instagram, TikTok, everything—and just live quietly.”
Nasboi, who rose to prominence through hilarious skits and later broke into the music scene with his hit single “Umbrella” featuring Falz, explained that fame, while rewarding, comes with intense pressure and loss of privacy that he is not willing to endure indefinitely.
“I love what I do, and I’m grateful for the love and support, but peace of mind is priceless,” he said. “I’m working hard now so that tomorrow I can wake up, drink tea on my balcony, and nobody will disturb me. No interviews, no paparazzi, no ‘Nasboi do this, Nasboi do that.’ Just me, my family, and my money.”
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions online, with fans expressing both admiration for his self-awareness and sadness at the thought of losing one of Nigeria’s most entertaining voices.
Nasboi clarified that he is not retiring from creating content entirely but intends to step away from public life and the demands of celebrity status once his financial goal is met.
“I’ll still make music, I’ll still laugh, but it will be for me and the people I love—not for the timeline,” he added with his trademark humor.
As of now, Nasboi continues to thrive across comedy, music, and brand influencing, with multiple projects in the pipeline for 2026.
