Stand-up comedian Bovi Ugboma has spoken candidly about the complicated relationship he had with his late father, revealing that “negative energy” was a pattern in his family.

During the first live edition of the WithChude podcast, the comic actor attributed their strained bond to a pattern of negative energy and generational curse in their family.

The proud father of three shared that his father passed down this negativity he had inherited but he chose to break the cycle.

Despite their strained relationship, Bovi said he took care of his father during his illness from 2021, showing love and support with his siblings.

In his words:

“What made the relationship with my late father difficult is what they call family patterns or what the church calls ‘generational curses’.

My father gave me what he had, and what he had was a lot of negative energy. That was given to him as well. I have chosen to be the stop.”

He admitted he used to speak about their relationship from a bitter place, but chose to forgive his father before he died in February 2025. He said:

“When I used to tell that story, I was used to playing the victim, talking about the loveless relationship. I was speaking from a very bitter place.

But long before he passed, I had already forgiven him. He was sick from 2021 till he passed; I and my siblings were taking care of him. And I was taking care of him with all the love. I didn’t struggle to take care of him.”
