I Like To Do My Own Thing — Comedian Bovi Opens Up On Growing Apart From AY

There was a time when comedians Bovi and AY used to be pals but over the years they have grown apart, and now the former has revealed why.

Making the disclosure in a recent chat with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Rubbing Minds, Bovi stated that he was cool with other comedians in the industry even though some of them don't like him.

"It's not because of anything but if you have a way you operate and it is not in sync with the way I operate and if that offends my spirit, I'll just stay away. I'm sure some people don't like me and that's cool. Even in the church, there is friction", he revealed.

Responding to why his relationship with AY Makun was no longer the way it used to be, the My Village People star said that they just grew apart, adding that he still hails his colleague whenever they see each other.

"I think we just grew apart. I like to do my own thing my own way and if your style is different from my style we just grow apart basically but we cool. When I see him I say what's up."

When asked by Ebuka to talk about the common belief that comedians in the country are not united, Bovi replied: "I don't know...personally I don't think everybody can like each other but one thing I know is they don't necessarily hate each other. It is a tricky situation. As regards the shows, in the beginning, I use to do everybody's show but now I want to do it the way it is internationally accepted.

"If we are doing a nite of thousand laughs, I am willing to be on that platform but it got to the point where I am like I can't be on a show that is run by a comedian's name and every one feature but you the comedian come on your own show and you are not telling jokes.

"Rather you are just MCing and bringing everyone on stage then we go home and you make all the money. I want to do a show and have a command of my performance like an album."
