Bright Okpocha, also known as Basketmouth, a seasoned comedian, announced his separation from his wife Elsie Okpocha on Thursday.
The Nigerian media had earlier claimed that despite Basketmouth’s attendance at Elsie’s 44th birthday celebration in September of this year, he had skipped their wedding anniversary, which is typically observed in November.
As he made the announcement of their divorce on his verified social media, Basketmouth penned the following statement: “As much as it saddens me to put my personal life to the public space, this is an inevitable circumstance.
“My wife and I have decided to end our marriage after careful consideration.”
We will continue to cooperate even as we go our own ways to ensure that our lovely children receive the care, love, instruction, and support they need.
