Popular Nigerian comedian Bovi has finally shed light on why he went separate ways from fellow comedy star, Basketmouth.

The two entertainers, who once thrilled fans with joint stage collaborations, gradually drifted apart as their career paths took different directions.

In a recent viral interview, Bovi explained that his decision was driven largely by a desire for financial independence and personal growth.

“Basketmouth and I are cool. Nothing happened. Interests changed. I wanted to focus more and spend more time with my family, and also to elevate myself,” Bovi said.

According to him, he became restless with long-term collaborations and wanted to build his own brand.
“I easily get bored doing something for too long, so I try something else. As you know, I went back to TV because I wanted to build my own brand. When I host shows at Eko Hotels, it fills up. So, why should I go and share money? Why should we be many doing one show?” he asked.

Bovi noted that stepping out on his own has allowed him to explore new opportunities and grow financially, while maintaining cordial ties with Basketmouth.
