Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma has set social media alight after joking that music star 2Baba is “the only man who left one marriage to start another while successfully skipping the divorce process,” a quip that quickly went viral following a Lagos event.
Speaking to the audience, Bovi argued that personal happiness should take priority over public scrutiny. “Some people like to announce their divorce, and some don’t. All that matters is your happiness,” he said, before listing industry examples and adding: “Uche jumped out of marriage and nobody knew. 2face is the only man who left one marriage for the next and successfully skipped the divorce process.”
The comedian’s line — delivered in his trademark roast style — prompted a mix of amusement, approval and criticism online. Several commentators praised the joke for its blunt honesty, while others warned it risked trivialising complex personal matters. Sample reactions captured on social platforms ranged from playful endorsement to concern over the public roasting of private lives.
Bovi’s remarks come amid lingering public attention on 2Baba’s high-profile personal life. The musician publicly announced his separation from actress Annie Idibia earlier this year and has since been linked with Natasha Osawaru, a development widely covered across Nigerian media.
No public responses from 2Baba or Annie Idibia were attached to the clip published by Legit.ng at the time of reporting. The video continues to circulate across Instagram and Facebook pages, generating thousands of views and a lively comment thread.
