Nigerian comedy star Bovi has opened up about his split from fellow comedian Basketmouth, revealing that financial independence played a major role in the decision. In a viral social media interview, Bovi explained that his priorities shifted, driving him to focus on building his own brand and spending more time with family.
He emphasized that his desire to grow financially pushed him to leave collaborative projects behind. “I can’t be sharing money with colleagues after shows when I can fill venues hosting solo events,” Bovi stated, highlighting his successful shows at Eko Hotels as proof of his rising solo career.
Despite going separate ways professionally, Bovi made it clear that his relationship with Basketmouth remains cordial. The split came down to changing interests, with Bovi eager to try new ventures rather than staying in one lane too long.
