Budding Nigerian skit-maker, Isaac Olayiwola, otherwise known as Layi Wasabi, has said that unlike his colleagues, he does see the need to use nudity in promoting his skits.
According to Layi, the nature of his comedy and his target audience does not necessitate the usage of any form of sexual content to get viewership.
The online comedian stated this during a recent interview with BBC Pidgin, where he also shared the genesis of his journey into content creation.
He explained that he started it in Osogbo, Osun state before moving to Lagos to expand his reach and enhance his career prospects.
“Di kain skit wey I dey do no need n3ked women but I no go judge anybody. Comedy na wetin you fit do effortlessly,” Layi said.
He added; “Wen I bin start my content creation, I bin dey Osogbo and dey waka go Ibadan dat time too. Na wen di content creation really pick na im I move come Lagos to better di hustle.”
The content creator also shared an interesting origin story about his character, ‘Layi,’ which he said was inspired during his NYSC programme at the Ministry of Justice in Ibadan.
He explained how he developed the character after being intrigued by the demeanour and appearance of certain lawyers he encountered during his service year.
“I notice say e get some kain lawyers wey really pick my interest. You go look dia shoe and dey wonder if na di kain same tin we study,” Layi said.
