Basketmouth, a Nigerian comedian, has given an explanation for why he disparaged Wizkid despite realizing the impact Davido’s wedding had on social media.
While everyone was focused on Davido and Chioma’s wedding on June 25, the comedian bemoaned the difficulty of promoting his Canadian tour.
In addition, he said that nobody was paying much attention to Wizkid’s social media turmoil because everyone was preoccupied with Davido and Chioma’s wedding.
His slight of Wizkid did not sit well with the singer’s fans, who vowed to “cancel” him.
Regarding the Backstage Banter exchange he had with Isi Ijewere during Basketmouth’s Canadian tour stop in Toronto, he clarified that his jab at Wizkid was merely “a marketing technique.”
Wizkid is my guy, he stated.That was a tactic used in marketing. However, I anticipated it would be tense.
“I anticipated that it would strike people. Even though I knew they would become irate, they carried out my instructions to the letter. It was successful.
