Top Nigerian comedian and businessman, Basketmouth, has now spoken more about his separation from his wife of 12 years, Elsie Okpocha.
Recall that in December 2022, Basketmouth took to social media to announce the end of his marriage to the mother of three of his children.
He spoke more on the issue while he was a guest on TV3 Ghana.
According to the Nigerian star, his separation from his wife is not fake.
In his words: “I’m separated right now, people thought it was a joke but it wasn’t.”
He added that a number of people did not believe it and assumed it was his way of promoting a show.
Basket explained that he is not one to put his personal business out in public.
According to the comedian, their separation was something that needed to be done for reasons best known to him.
He said: “I do not bring my personal matters on a public platform and put my personal things out there but it was something I needed to do for reasons best known to me and we’re cool and everything is fine.”
Basketmouth added that they had clocked 12 years in marriage before the separation.
According to him, their marriage clocked the new age in November 2022 and they parted ways in December.
