well-known Nigerian stand-up Bovi Ugboma, a comedian, author, and brand influencer, openly discussed his relationship with Basketmouth, a senior colleague.
In a recent interview with Chude, Bovi said that he has severed his friendship with Basketmouth because he has come to the conclusion that it is now time for him to build his brand and put more of his attention on himself.
According to the comedian, there is a limit to how far certain people can push you, and eventually you will have to stand up and make further strides.
Bovi went on to say that although he and Basketmouth are still cool, their earlier enthusiasm was just a phase, and they are now in new stages. He added that his objectives had changed as he had grown older and that his current goals were to be happy and to pursue his interests.
"I decided that you know what, it's time to grow your brand and focus on you now, so I will take responsibility for my own decision. We are human beings, there will always be skirmishes, I mean it's always part of pop culture. So I just realize that like I said earlier, the biggest service you can do for yourself is to push yourself because if you wait for somebody to say, 'come let me take you', you might wait forever. I'm not saying that doesn't happen but there's also a limit to how far certain people can take you".
"Me and Basketmouth are still cool but I think that energy was a phase, so now we are unto new phases that's it for me. Priorities change as we grow everyday, right now I just want to be happy, I want to do the things that make me happy and I want to make sure that my immediate consistency is happy which is my family, my children so priorities changed", he concluded.
