Popular comedian Basketmouth shed light on why he mocked fellow Nigerian artist Wizkid during Davido’s traditional wedding, held a few weeks ago.
The event, already a hot topic on social media, gained additional attention due to Basketmouth’s remarks.
The incident traces back to the release of pre-wedding photos of Davido, which spurred a buzz online. Concurrently, Wizkid posted a series of cryptic tweets, drawing significant attention and speculation.
Basketmouth, seizing the moment, criticized Wizkid’s posts as unnecessary, asserting that Davido’s wedding should be the primary focus on social media.
In a video statement, Basketmouth clarified that his comments were not meant to stir animosity but were part of a calculated marketing strategy. He admitted that he anticipated the reaction his tweet would provoke and utilized it to his advantage.
“Wizkid is my guy,” Basketmouth explained. “What I did was a marketing technique. I knew it was edgy, it would get people talking, and it did what I expected it to do. It worked in my favour.”
