About three weeks ago, Nigerians woke up
to a rude shock when popular comedian, Bovi, posted on his Instagram
page that his colleague and friend, Basketmouth, got robbed. Many of his
fans were quick to sympathise with him while others were apprehensive
as nothing was heard about the humour merchant.
Ever since the incident occurred, the
ace comedian had not spoken about the encounter he had with the men of
the underworld till Saturday Beats reached out to him.
Responding to a mail the comedian thanked Nigerians for their concern
but also begged them to put the incident in the past where it belongs.
Like any doting father, he thanked God
that his children were unaware of the robbery incident because they were
asleep all through the encounter. Basketmouth said, “I will rather not
talk about the robbery incident because it is in the past now. I just
thank God nobody was hurt. My kids were asleep throughout the incident
so that is something to really thank God for as the trauma would have
messed them up for a while.”
The comedian who started out as a rap artiste told Saturday Beats that he has not forgotten his first love, music. He added that he would revisit the studio booth once he has the time.
And just like his colleagues AY, Bovi and Owen G, the dreadlock wearing comic act hinted that he would release a movie soon.
“I have had to put my music career to
rest for now as I have a lot of projects before me but soon, I will
revisit it. Also, I have been working on a movie for a while now, but
due to time constraint, I have not been able to start production but I
will do so soon though,” he said.
The actor who turned 38 recently told Saturday Beats that he is thankful to God for everything especially when he looks back at where he is coming from in life.
“I feel blessed because I know that the
life we have can be taken for granted sometimes. I always thank God for
every second, minute, hour, day, month and year I witness. Turning 38 is
amazing and I pray that God will continue to bless me with more years
in great health, happiness, favour and more. I thank God for everything
especially when I look back to where I am coming from, it is really
humbling where God has placed me and where he is taking me to. I am
grateful for everything.
“I am good at making low points become
high points. In everything that comes my way, I always thank God while
believing that there is a reason for it. The ability to embrace
everything in good faith and never backing down or getting distracted is
one thing I think I am good at,” he said.
When asked what fame has robbed him of
the ace comedian simply said it was his privacy but he was quick to add
that he would not change anything if given the chance.
“I have been robbed of my privacy and
the freedom I had. The fact that I must be very careful with everything I
say and do is a bit of a pressure. However, I wouldn’t trade the
journey for anything. I won’t change a thing,” Basketmouth said.
