Veteran comedian and rapper, Bright Okpocha, better known with his stage name, Basketmouth, has announced the end of his marriage to wife, Elsie Okpocha.
Basketmouth announced the end of his 12-year-old marriage on his verified social media handles on Thursday.
He said: “As much as it pains me to bring my personal life to the public space, this is an unavoidable situation.
“After much deliberations, 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, love, guidance and support they need.
We humbly ask that you respect our privacy as we navigate through these times. Thank you.”
Rumours of upheavals in Basketmouth marriage had spread rapidly in November when he failed to publicly celebrate the marriage anniversary, which usually comes up every November.
