Bovi has taken to social media to celebrate his ‘Most Popular Comedian’ win at the NET Honours People’s Choice Awards, one of the world’s most prestigious audience data-based awards.
In a category filled with top-class comedians and skit gurus, Bovi showed how skill and adaptability to change can keep one in the game for the long run. He won the award ahead of Sydney Talker, Mr Macaroni, Taaooma, Broda Shagi and Josh2Funny.
This is his first-ever NET Honours win after he lost to veteran comedian Alibaba last year. Bovi thought he would lose again this year, especially seeing that he was nominated alongside such vibrant comedians.
He posted on his Instagram account, “This one shock me 😁😁😁, especially because when I saw the other nominees who are constantly dishing out viral videos that I’m a fan of, I was like, “nahhh, I shouldn’t have been in this category”! So thank you to the fans! I love y’all. And thank you to the organisers @thenetng for nominating me in the first place! Now I’m eager to do more! I dedicate this award to me! 😀. Drops mic 🎤!”
Several celebrities like Chidi Mokeme, Mimi Fawaz, Emma Ugolee, Ini Dima-Okojie, Yomi Casual, Laura Ikeji, fellow nominee Broda Shaggi and more celebrated with him on Instagram.
One of his fans, Adaugo, rejoiced with him, saying, “Ayyyyyyyyyy🔥🔥🔥🔥 Congratulations sir @officialbovi more wins to come 💃”.
