Popular comedian, Basketmouth, has
admitted that he has come close to losing
his cool on social media over a matter
that involved Davido.
Speaking during a Hip TV chat show, ‘The
Gist with Ugolee’, late on Saturday night,
popular Nigerian stand-up comedian,
Bright Okpocha, a.k.a Basketmouth,
admitted that he has come close to losing
his cool on social media over a matter that
involved Afro-pop singer, Davido.
Recall that at his show BasketMouth
Uncensored in Houston, Texas some
months ago, the comedian had shared his
thoughts about awards and MAMA 2015.
“When they were doing the awards.
P’Square, they won like 2 awards, best
duo, Best this one. D’Banj won.. I don’t
know why. (crowd laughter). Then Davido
won above WizKid, which is quite strange,
but it’s allowed.. It’s allowed,” he was
quoted as saying.
At the television show last night, the multi-
award winning comedian who spoke on
the disadvantages of celebrities settling
their scores on social media, made it clear
that he’s not one to shy away from saying
his mind, adding that he would rather do it
face to face than behind the mask of the
internet.
“I do not get on social media walls
because I want to increase following,
mine is, if you come at me, if I feel the
need to address you, I will. But 99% of
the time, I would not say anything about
it.
“There are so many times that I allow
issues to slide, for instance, I said a joke
that happened to be out of context about
Davido; Davido was really upset. He
didn’t come at me but I was a little bit
shaded with what he said. I wanted to
react but instead, I apologised.
“Personally for me, war should be war,
come and say whatever you want to say
to my face. It is wise for you not to bring
out your personal issues on social media
and that’s what I stand for.
“If it is a clap back at an artiste like
yourself, then it is your choice. Once it
gets to family, let those ones be in your
house, let your Instagram and twitter
group be between you, her father, her
mother and herself,” he said.
