Nasboi: 2face Idibia is My Role Model


Award-winning Nigerian creative and social media influencer, Nasiru Lawal also known as Nasboi has confessed his admiration for African queen crooner, Innocent Idibia otherwise known as 2baba.
He joins a horde of established and new Nigerian talents who has been inspired by the former member of defunct music group, Plantashun Boiz who bestrode Nigerian music like a colossus. 


The talented actor disclosed, “I have two role model, they are 2face Idibia and my father, Mr Wahab Lawal. Passion drives me. I’m really passionate about making people laugh and passing really good messages with my videos.”
According to Nasboi, whose first love is music, his first music release after a long hiatus from the studio is on the way soon. He disclosed, “I was, and I’m still a musician. Sometime in 2017 I made a sound that sounded similar to Davido’s sound. I could only imagine making that particular sound with him. I am still recording, hopefully, you might hear a Nasboi Davido collaboration. 


The talent who was previously signed to a music label owned by Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde revealed, “I had absolutely nothing to do with acting while growing up. But I have a deep love for cinematography and photography. I could tell stories and mimic characters too. I grew into acting. It’s not like I have this whole thing planned. After all, I didn’t even see myself make skits. I will love to produce and direct movies too. I have featured in three movies and about two soap operas. I don’t take actors for granted. The job is really tasking, do I want to do more moves? Oh yes.”


Although he hails from Osun State, Nasiru Lawal was raised in Port Harcourt. He began his primary education at Bright International Nursery and completed it at Primary School, Shalom International Nursery and Primary School, both the capital city of Rivers State. He proceeded to Istan Comprehensive High School and later, Ogba Comprehensive High School. The graduate of Mechanical Engineering from University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom had no prior exposure to music or acting.
