Basketmouth Finally Opens Up On Having A Child Outside Wedlock


We all know ace comedian Bright Okpocha better known as Basketmouth has two kids, a boy and a girl, with his wife Elsie, but most people do not know he has another daughter with an ex-girlfriend.

Basketmouth in this new interview talks about his love child for the first time. Read excerpt below...

There's this story that won't just go away that suggests you have a love child?
I wouldn't refer to her as a love child. She's my child that people  didn't know of. Yes I have a daughter with my ex-girlfriend. Its not a comfortable topic to discuss because I wouldn't want to put anybody under pressure. As long as my family is happy and I'm on the same page with my wife, my siblings, my mum, my pastor and the family of my daughter, that's all that actually matters.

When did you have the child?
Years ago, a while before my wedding.

How did your wife react to the news?
You can guess.

Why did you wait till now before choosing to come clean?
It's never been a hidden issue. That its private doesn't make it hidden.
