Popular comedian and singer Bright Okputa, aka Basketmouth, has explained the reason for shading music star Ayo Balogun Wizkid during Davido’s traditional wedding about two weeks ago. Recall that Wizkid sparked reactions with a cryptic tweet after his supposed rival Davido posted his pre-wedding photos online. Reacting, Basketmouth expressed how Davido’s wedding had taken over social media while suggesting that no one cared about Wizkid’s tweet, a comment that spurred backlash from many, especially the Star Boy’s fans.
In a new video, Basketmouth disclosed that the tweet of him shading Wizkid was a marketing technique as he knew it would spark outrage. The comedian cums actor said:
“Wizkid is my guy, what I did was a marketing technique, I knew it was edgy, it would get people talking and it did what I expected it to do, it worked in my favour”.
