Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, also known as Basketmouth, has confirmed that he truly separated from his wife, Elsie.
In an interview with TV3NewDay, a Ghana television station, Basketmouth said his separation from his was real.
He said:
“I am separated right now. People thought it was a joke but it wasn’t. Some people were like do you want to promote a show and I was like you definitely do not know my design.
“I do not bring my personal matter on a public platform but it was something I needed to do and for reasons best known to me.”
Basketmouth recently also announced his plans to quit comedy in five years’ time. He said he wants to venture into new fields as he doesn’t want to be known only as a comedian.
Meanwhile, Elsie Okpocha, the estranged wife of Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth, has advised women against rushing into marriage when they are not ready.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, she urged Nigerians to stop pressuring women to get married early.
She argued that when a woman is not married, she’s probably taking her time or has not found the right person yet.
