Popular Nigerian comedian Bovi has revealed that negative energy runs in his family, as he discussed his strained relationship with his late father who passed away in February 2025.
During an episode of the ‘WithChude’ podcast, Bovi shared that the predominant trait his father passed on to him was negativity. He explained how he made a conscious effort to break the cycle of negativity in his family by distancing himself from his father.
Despite their rocky relationship, Bovi disclosed that he forgave his father before his death as a way to move forward and break free from the family curse of negative energy.
“My father gave me what he had, and what he had was a lot of negative energy. That was given to him as well. I have chosen to be the stop.
When I used to tell that story, I was used to playing the victim, talking about the loveless relationship. I was speaking from a very bitter place.
“But long before he passed, I had already forgiven him. He was sick from 2021 till he passed; I and my siblings were taking care of him. And I was taking care of him with all the love. I didn’t struggle to take care of him.”
