Basketmouth shares cryptic post about walking away from toxic relationship

• Basketmouth has shared a post on relationships, triggering assumptions from his fans.
• The comedian turned filmmaker took to social media to state that all relationships have an end point, emphasizing on toxicity.
• His post has led many to question if his post is truly about 2024 or his crashed marriage.

Bright Okpocha, the popular Nigerian comedian, who is better known as Basketmouth, has chosen to start the New Year by letting some things off his mind. 

The comedian shared an Instagram post talking about moving on from a toxic relationship. He wrote:

“She really underestimated me and assumed I was weak. Little did she know that with every new day, comes a new strength; A new drive and an unwavering determination to win. 

“She judged me, made a mockery of me. she came at me with everything she had, but eventually, she burnt out. 

“At the end of it all, I stood taller and stronger than lever was. The comeback was so unexpected. But I reclaimed my power, 

“Isn’t it amazing how just one second can make someone who seemed so powerful, become nothing but a shadow of a memory? 

“As I walked away, I couldn’t help but stop in my glorious strides. I turned back to take one last look at her. With a Bright smile on my face, I raised my right hand towards her and I flipped out the middle finger as I whispered delightfully; ‘F*ck you 2024, I WON..'” 

He added in the caption:

“Every relationship has an end point.” 

While it seems his post is about the just concluded year 2024, the comedian’s writeup has by his fans, been linked to his 12 year old marriage that crashed two years ago.

In December 2022, Basketmouth announced that his marriage to Elsie Uzoma Okpocha has crashed. He announced on his verified social media page, where he disclosed the difficult decision to part ways with his wife.

The comedian noted that he and Elsie would not deprive their children of all necessary attention as parents.

He further asked the public to respect their privacy to go through their separation phase. He wrote:

“As much as it pains me to bring my personal life to the public space, this is an unavoidable situation. After much deliberation, my wife and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage.

“As we move forward separately, we will continue to work together to give our beautiful children all the care and love—guidance and support they need. We humbly ask that you respect our privacy as we navigate these times. Thank you.”
