Bovi, a well-known comedian from Nigeria, has mentioned that negative energy runs in his family.
Bovi revealed this during a conversation about his strained relationship with his father, who died in February 2025.
While speaking during the first-ever live version of the ‘WithChude’ podcast, the comedian remarked that his father left him only one thing: the negative traits he had inherited from him.
While narrating how he detached himself from his father to put a stop to the family trend that seemed like a curse, he explained that he forgave his father before his death.
He said, “What made the relationship with my late father difficult is what they call family patterns or what the church calls ‘generational curses’.
“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.
However, I had forgiven him long before he passed away. He was ill from 2021 until his death; My siblings and I were looking after him. I was caring for him with all my love. I found it easy to take care of him.
