Nasboi, one of Nigeria’s most recognizable faces in online comedy, may be plotting a bold new directionthis time behind the mic, not in front of a camera.
The entertainer, best known for his hilarious skits and spot-on celebrity impressions, surprised fans this week with a Facebook video showing him passionately singing along to a smooth Afrobeats track. The post, captioned “Nasboi what do you guys think?”, quickly went viral, sparking conversations well beyond his usual comedy audience.
The video showcased not just a playful side of Nasboi, but a raw, melodic voice that fans weren’t expecting at least not in this context. Comments poured in, praising his vocals and urging him to take music seriously.
“You’ve been hiding this talent for too long,” one fan wrote. “This is more than just vibes drop a song!”
This isn’t Nasboi’s first brush with music. Though primarily known for his comedic content, he has occasionally shared short musical clips and has hinted in interviews that music was one of his early passions before comedy took the spotlight. In fact, insiders say he began his creative career as a music producer and aspiring singer, only shifting to skit-making as a means to build an audience.
Now, with his online presence firmly established and his fan base in the millions, Nasboi may be poised to reconnect with his musical roots.
“He’s always had it in him,” said one industry source familiar with Nasboi’s early work. “The comedy opened doors, but music has always been in the background. This could be his moment to bring it forward.”
If so, he would join a growing wave of Nigerian digital creators who are blurring the lines between entertainment genres leveraging social media fame to explore music, acting, and even entrepreneurship. But Nasboi’s appeal lies in his authenticity and ability to connect emotionally, whether through laughter or lyrics.
While no official music project has been announced, the buzz around this simple video suggests fans are ready to support him in any new creative venture. Some are already calling for collaborations with established artists in the Afrobeats scene, while others are waiting for what they hope will be a debut single.
For now, Nasboi is letting the video speak for itself. Whether it’s a teaser for something bigger or simply a spontaneous moment of expression, one thing is clear: the multi-talented creator is more than just comedy and fans are here for it.
