Comedian Bovi Faces Backlash Over Controversial Jokes About His Daughter

• Bovi, a father of three, shared his jokes about sexuality during a performance.

Stand-up comedian and actor Bovi Ugboma is currently facing criticism online following a recent performance in which he made jokes involving his daughter that many have deemed inappropriate.

During the show, Bovi—who is a father to three children, including a daughter—shared a comedic bit about naming his daughter’s teddy bears “Big Dick” and “Small Dick.” He stated that he asked her to play with both toys, a punchline that sparked significant outrage on social media.

Following the backlash, Bovi added that he had since gotten his daughter a new pet—a fowl—and told her to call it “cock” instead of “fowl,” further fueling the controversy.

The jokes, which were meant to be humorous, didn’t sit well with many on X (formerly Twitter). Several users accused the comedian of crossing the line, criticizing him for using his daughter in material they believe to be inappropriate and insensitive.

@mendemen wrote: That is one of the most distasteful jokes I have ever heard. It cannot even be classed as a joke! Bovi should seek lessons on how to tell jokes. He has past his time.

@oby added: It’s because these people have not lived and worked abroad before. This is insensitive and very inappropriate. Try this joke abroad and see if police will not come calling to investigate you and that your daughter.
