In the video which had trended online, Basit was seen spotting a presumed Gucci shirt as he worked on a car.

Turning to the camera, he is heard saying in Yoruba:

"There’s money. We wear Gucci to do vulcanizing job. If I want six, I can get it. If I want 100, I can get it."

Below is the throwback video of Basit alongside recent photos:

Recall Wizkid had promised to help a young vulcanizer named Basit through all stages of his education. Basit had shared a video of himself singing along to Wizzy’s unreleased song Gucci Snake.

Very impressed with the fact that Basit took time off from fixing a customer’s tires to sing his song, Wizkid launched a search for him. After some hours, he shared another video where he revealed he has found Basit.

Meanwhile, congratulations are in order for the superstar singer as he bagged a prize at the recent Soul Train Music Awards 2020.
