Why I Abandoned Music For Comedy Skits —Lasisi Elenu Reveals

Popular skit maker and comedian Lasisi Elenu has revealed why he abandoned his music career  and opted for skit productions.

Lasisi, said  that he was not after making money but rather seeking an avenue to express himself and he saw the internet as a platform to become famous, and he tapped into it.

Lasisi noted that skit making gave him the fame he wanted in the entertainment industry and as such he dropped music as a career to focus on producing online skits.

Lasisi in his recent chat with Punch said: “Growth has happened over the years. There was a time when we looked up to radio and television.”

“Then, social media became the in-thing. Social media has been in existence since the early 2010s but it became more prominent later on. That was how I saw an avenue to express myself.”

“The primary objective when I started was not actually to make money. I just saw it as an opportunity for me to be out there (in the public glare). It felt good but I was pursuing a career in music alongside and it was a struggle.”

“I felt the best way to become famous, aside from my music, was to create skits. I tried and it paid off eventually. I became popular and I no longer saw the need to pursue a career in music. Hence, I decided to continue creating content and be in the entertainment space.”

Being one of the most prominent online skit makers in Nigeria, Lasisi revealed he would explore from TV shows to comedy, movies, and production to stay relevant.
