    The management of popular skit maker turned singer, Nasboi has addressed the recent misconception surrounding his deal with D’banj’s The CREAM platform.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that D’banj last week unveiled Nasboi and Berri Tiga as brand ambassadors for his revamped initiative.

    The platform, which gives registered artistes grants worth between N100,00 and 1 million, allows artistes to upload unlimited content, assessed by industry experts and through a voting process.

    Clarifying the speculations, Nasboi in a statement via his management said  that he is still signed under Eminent Music.

    It emphasized that Nasboi’s partnership with The CREAM platform is a separate endeavor, allowing him to collaborate with other brands and platforms as a content creator and influencer.

    It reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a publication circulating on social and print media, which may have been widely misconstrued that our Artist the Afrobeats star Nasbol has been signed by the CREAM Platform, a DIY distribution and gaming service company owned by Nigerian Music icon D’banj.

    “Eminent Music would like to state emphatically that this news is inaccurate. Nasboi remains signed to the label, and his landmark musical journey is solely distributed by the global reputable company ONErpm, whose support and partnership, have remained both crucial and respected by the Eminent Music family.

    “It’s important to note that Nasbol is a celebrated entertainer with unique characterization, his versatile artistry, has distinguished him as a celebrated content creator and magical influencer, little wonder his skill is widely sought after by local and international brands.

    “The nature of his job as a content creator/influencer often requires him to work with different platforms, to achieve their cooperative goals. However, as far as his fast evolving and successful musical career is concerned, Nasbol is currently contractually signed to Eminent Music and ONErpm.

    “The public is hereby enjoined to uphold this statement as true and identify with the same. We regret the stress the sald circulating publication may have caused our partners at ONErpm and all admirers of the label’s work and indeed NasBol’s fans.

    “The relationship between Eminent Music and Nasboi is stronger than ever. Under the label’s watch, he has released the hit-filled EP ‘INIT’, headlined a historic sold-out concert in December 2024, and Nasboi recently secured a well-deserved Headies Next Rated nomination.

    “Thank you all for your attention.”

    In his words:

    “So mad, I think it’s impossible. I want it to happen, but at the same time, I don’t want it to happen. So these are the reasons why I don’t want it to happen: you know that Ronaldo and Messi beef before wey we been get? The moment these guys turn friends, e don affect our arguments. Una begin talk together, wetin bring that one? [laughs]. But for the culture, it’s going to be huge. Super super huge, for the culture.

    I want to see it happen, but I still like the bants. I still like the bants. If they come together like this, we no go bant again. Sha, the bant can’t even end. You know why? Somebody will still tell you ‘Wizkid verse sweet pass Davido verse for that song’ [laughs]. I think the fans do too much.

    Imagine that I had an interview that is out there now, and what did I say? It feels like once you’re a celebrity, you do not have opinions – that’s dangerous.

    But you that is a normal walking guy in the streets, you have an opinion. You can decide to say you love Wizkid over Davido and that’s okay, but me I can’t say it. Somebody is in my DM, you will not believe it because they asked me a direct question of do you think Wizkid offended Don Jazzy by calling him an influencer, and I think yes.

    Somebody is in my DM saying ‘you get mind carry Wizkid talk, the way your brother die, you go die.’ It’s in my DMs. I’m a very emotional person, sometimes I really cry and I feel really bad.”
