Comedian and actor Bovi has clarified his relationship with fellow comedian Basketmouth, saying there is no bad blood between them but that their paths have naturally diverged due to evolving interests.
In an interview, Bovi explained that his focus on family and career growth has pushed him to explore new creative outlets, particularly in the film industry.
He added that his tendency to get bored with routine has fueled his drive to try new things, build his personal brand, and establish himself as a standalone force in comedy.
He said, “I’m cool with Basketmouth, nothing happened. I’ve answered this question before.
“You get what I’m saying. Interests changed, especially for me. You know, I wanted to focus more, spend more time with my family.
“I wanted to also elevate myself. I easily get bored with things. So when I’m doing something for too long, I try to do something else”.
Bovi also shared his thoughts on financial independence, mentioning that he wants to capitalise on his own success rather than sharing profits with others.
He used the analogy of filling up a hotel to illustrate his point, stating that he can reap the benefits of his own endeavors without needing to collaborate with others.
According to Bovi, this shift in focus has allowed him to grow both professionally and financially.
“You know, so as you know, I started to do films. I went back to TV, and then I wanted to build my own brand in the sense that I needed people. I needed the world to know that I can stand with the mic endlessly by myself and talk. You know, also, there’s the, I also started to think of stuff like when I blow the whistle and say, I’m having an Eko hotel, it fills up. So why should I go and share money? Why should we be many doing one show? And then I guess I can keep all the money myself”, he added.
