Why I was banned from entering the United States – Comedian Bovi

Popular Nigerian comedian, Bovi Ugboma, has revealed why he was banned from entering the United States.

Bovi informed that he was banned from the United States after he clashed with a visa-issuing officer and got labelled.

The comic star, on Tuesday, revealed this while replying to questions from fans after he hosted a Question and Answer segment on his Instagram story.

He first spoke about the ban when a fan asked him to come to Massachusetts to perform.

“I’m banned in the USA,” the father-of-three replied.

Another fan asked him if he intended to leave the country and he replied, “I am a citizen of the world. Except for Yankee where I’m banned.”

Explaining the reason for the ban, he said, “Ill luck. Met a charity-like visa-issuing officer. Egos clashed. I was labelled.”

Giving more details, he said, “I go dey carry shoulder.”

The comedian had revealed in February 2022 that he was almost accused of stealing at a London hotel.

On why Bovi and AY don’t perform together:

In his Q&A, the comedian also addressed the perceived beef between him and fellow comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY.

When asked by fans why he and AY do not perform at each other’s show, the comedian made reference to American comedians.

“Have you ever seen Chris Rock at a Kelvin Hart show?” Bovi replied to the inquisitive fan.
