Basketmouth opens up about music journey
Basketmouth had a lot to share with top media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, on the popular Bounce Radio interview series.
The comic star started off by delving into the story behind his journey into the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Basketmouth noted that he is a failed rapper as he surprisingly narrated how he had tried his hands on rap music at the start of his career.
He explained that at the time he was blending the ‘Fela’ kind of music with hip-hop. Basketmouth added that the blend was way ahead of his time as people weren’t entirely receptive.
According to him, the failure to do something new led him to embrace comedy because it was much more comfortable for him.
