Davido made this comment during a documentary filmed by YouTuber, Tayo Aina. “If I was not doing music, I would have been a stand-up comedian. I’m a funny guy. In school, I was the type to always make people laugh. That transcended into my entertainment, music, and being a people person,” “I know how it feels to not feel good. That bad feeling, I wouldn’t wish it on even my enemy.” In other news, Davido has described the music executive, Don Jazzy as his mentor. According to Davido, the first meeting with Don Jazzy was an extraordinary experience, likening it to encountering Jesus. In his words, “Don Jazzy was my mentor. It was amazing. I started hustling and meeting people. From there, I sorted myself out. “When I go to countries to perform, the presidency always reaches out. They ask if I want to go for dinner. My fans collated how many countries Davido has performed in. I saw about 75. “Before I started making music, I’ve been traveling. You have also to count those. I’ve been traveling even alone and unaccompanied since I was 13. I knew my way around the airport. “I work too hard. Everyone is sleeping and I’m up recording or mixing. We’re up editing videos. The work is blood, sweat, and tears. For the next five to six years, I need to own it.”

Bovi reveals why he's not worried about the rise, acceptance of skit makers at the expense of stand-up comedians

Popular comedian and actor, Bovi Ugboma has played down speculations that the rise and acceptance of skit makers in the entertainment industry will affect him and other stand-up comedian in Nigeria.
Speaking with Sunday Scoop anchored by The PUNCH, Bovi noted that skit makers and stand-up comedians are of different genres with different markets.

Noting that the two fields should collaborate instead of competiting, Bovi added: “Why should it (rise of skit makers) affect them (stand-up comedians)? They are two different crafts. We should learn to be more collaborative instead of competitive.
“Anytime I get that question, I get worried because what they do is online, and there is a market for it. What we do is offline and there is a market for it as well.
“They have a different genre, so we should encourage them and the fact that they can make money out of it. The fact that it is now a booming business is a plus to the entertainment industry.”
On what distinguishes him in the entertainment industry, the comedian said, “I just do me and I make sure I always challenge and reinvent myself. I also constantly evolve so people would not get bored. If one does not reinvent oneself, people will find one predictable.”
