While hosting the 2026 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards on Saturday night, Bovi Ugboma and South African actress Nomzamo Mbatha reenacted the ‘snub’ moment between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham.
The duo staged a skit that referenced the incident from the premiere of ‘The Return of Arinzo’. Mbatha portrayed Akindele while Bovi played Abraham.
“Aunty, aunty Funke… mtcheeww. If I ever present an award to you, call me a bastard,” Bovi said jokingly, sending the audience into laughter.
