Recent reports suggesting that Nigerian comedian and musician Nasboi has signed with D’banj’s new company have been officially denied by Eminent Music. The label, which currently manages the artist/comedian, clarified that while Nasboi has collaborated with D’banj, he remains under their management.
The Artist’s Current Status with Eminent Music
Nasboi, whose real name is Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, has been with Eminent Music since November 2022. The partnership began after Dr. Wisdom Okoye, CEO of Eminent Music, discovered Nasboi’s musical talent during an event in the United Kingdom. Since then, Nasboi has released his debut EP, ‘I.N.I.T,’ under the label, showcasing his unique blend of comedy and Afrobeat music.
Collaboration with D’banj
While the artist has not signed with D’banj’s new company, he has engaged in notable collaborations with the veteran artist. Recently, Nasboi was unveiled as a brand ambassador for D’banj’s restructured digital platform, The CREAM Platform. This initiative aims to provide funding and opportunities for emerging Nigerian artists. During the relaunch event, both Nasboi and D’banj performed, highlighting their professional relationship.
Additionally, the artist and comedian, featured alongside D’banj in the single ‘Compose,’ a track that merges D’banj’s veteran presence with Nasboi’s fresh style. This collaboration has been well-received, appealing to both old and new-school audiences.
Eminent Music’s Commitment to Nasboi
Eminent Music remains dedicated to Nasboi’s artistic development and career progression. Dr. Okoye has expressed plans to further Nasboi’s reach by organizing tours and performances worldwide, allowing him to connect with a broader audience.
In summary, while Nasboi continues to collaborate with industry figures like D’banj, he has not signed with D’banj’s new company and remains an integral part of the Eminent Music family.
