However, Bovi who was displeased by Akimolayan’s post, took to his instastory to describe the director as a “clout chaser”.

The comedian dragged Akinmolayan for not posting the film weeks after its release. The entertainer also alleged that the director had originally refused to identify with the project when it was released.

Bovi said the director’s action had followed a slight disagreement that ensued between them during the shooting of the project.

“See this clout chasing, egoistic, inferiority complex driven director posting film that he’s deliberately refused to identify with since its release.

Not like it mattered to me but once I heard all the sh*t coming from him and his body language. I was like how did I not walk away from this mess despite the warning signs.

Day three of a two week shoot, when he first tried to shut my set down because he didn’t want me to even correct his reductive approach to the script. I promised him that with or without him, the film will be a success”.

Bovi Ugboma alleged that he had to literally pet Niyi Akinmolayan all through the shoot not knowing the director still nursed a grudge against him.

“I added that even I, the writer, cannot stop it because it’s in God’s hands. From then on approach to making this picture became lame and deliberately mediocre. Idris and Moses kept begging me to just ignore his alarming character flaws and finish the project.

And that’s how I kept petting oga like a 4-year-old till we finished, not knowing he still carried a grudge fanned by an ego sitting on a ripe boil.

Dude is just hype. Theoretically informed but practically inept. Now the film has done favourably well, he has come out of his coven to advertise himself. Shameless.”

Niki Akinmolayan is yet to respond to Bovi’s claims on his attitude towards “My Village People” project.
