Basketmouth Bows Out: Comedy Icon Ventures into New Line of Business

  • Basketmouth Sets to Quit Comedy
  • Opens Up on Plans to Venture into Music and Movies
  • Reveals Action Plan for 2025

Popular Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha, famously known as Basketmouth, has revealed that he would be concentrating fully on music and filmmaking this year.

According to him, he became a comedian by “fluke”.

He explained that he was initially chasing a carer in music but turned to comedy when he saw that it wasn’t working.

Basketmouth made this known while granting an interview with Pulse,

Basketmouth said, “I’m going to take music more seriously in 2025. I want to create EPs because there are some artists I want to work with.

 

 

“I want to go into music and movies full-time. To be honest, movies are my first choice. I prioritise movies over comedy. It has always been like that it’s just that I haven’t made the movie yet.

“I started with music but I saw that it wasn’t going to work. I have always been funny since primary school but music was just a talent I felt I could use as a plaything.

Rap was my thing but after a while, I realised that it wasn’t going the way I want. Then I tried comedy, it was even by fluke. I was like, ‘this one is working. It must be the one.
