Veteran Comedian, Basketmouth, on Thursday December 22, 2022, announced a breakup with his now former wife, Elsie Okpocha.
Basketmouth said the announcement came after “much deliberations” between himself and his former wife, describing it as a difficult situation.
Following Basketmouth’s announcement, social media reacted on various views on marriage.
Twitter user @TundeOsansaya wrote, “Celebrities and divorce have been like Siamese twins this year. Basketmouth has just announced his own divorce. Na wa o.”
Another user, @tha_real_fungi tweeted, “Celebrity and failed marriages are synergistic and inevitable….”
“They don turn divorce into a trend. This is the third one this month.” @Oyinda44 said.
Reacting also, @Ola_Ayeni_ said, “Many celebrity marriages are fraught with divorces because most of the time they marry that public image or “expectation” and not the real person that is behind the mask.
Another social media user brought another angle of the story by announcing that Basketmouth has revealed his new bride after breakup with his former wife.
@bME S 02 posted with a picture that “Few hours after announcing his marriage break up, Basket’s mouth flaunts his new wife. If you use 24 hours to fear women, use 36 hours to fear my gender … The shit is getting real😏.”
Blueprint fact-checked to find out if the above statement by the Twitter user, @bME S 02 is true but up till now, no official statement has been released by Basketmouth to verify the above claim.
The last update on his verified Instagram account still remained his divorce announcement.
