Basketmouth Responds to Wizkid’s Fashion Shade Amid Davido Feud
Popular Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, widely known as Basketmouth, has taken to social media to respond to Nigerian superstar Wizkid after the singer made fun of his fashion sense in a recent viral post. The incident occurred amidst the ongoing feud between Wizkid and fellow artist Davido, which has sparked a heated exchange online, pulling in multiple public figures.
Wizkid, known for his hit song “Ojuelegba,” has been in an ongoing spat with Davido, where he took jabs not only at Davido but also at those associated with him. One of the most eyebrow-raising moments came when Wizkid mocked Basketmouth, dragging him into the controversy by throwing shade at the comedian’s style.
In his now-viral rant, Wizkid targeted Davido’s former lawyer and childhood friend, Bobo, by likening his appearance to that of Basketmouth. Wizkid’s words went viral as he insulted Bobo, claiming, “Your lawyer is following you everywhere dressed like Basketmouth.” The comment was meant to belittle both Bobo and Basketmouth’s fashion sense.
The full quote from Wizkid reads: “First off, you’re not as fly as me, can’t sing or make music like me, u can’t dress, u don’t make more money than me, u don’t even got hoes like me. U don’t know yourself. U’re cheap, u pull up for less than we do! Now fuck off, u spoilt rich child! That’s all u are! Fuck u and your dad’s money, we got ours! Every nigga around u broke! U dumb ass lawyer flies with you everywhere dressed like Basketmouth lol. Our lawyers are too busy for dat shit! U kids!”
Wizkid’s harsh words instantly created a buzz on social media, leading to various discussions about his ongoing feud with Davido, and now, with Basketmouth thrown into the mix.
Basketmouth’s Response
Not one to stay silent, Basketmouth decided to take the high road with his response. He posted a video on his Instagram page, where he is seen visiting renowned Nigerian fashion designer Seyi Vodi’s clothing store in Abuja. The comedian used the opportunity to subtly address Wizkid’s insult by making light of the situation.
In the clip, Basketmouth can be seen trying on a matching black shirt and trousers, complimenting himself as he checks out various collections of outfits. He cheekily says in the video, “Yo bro, @wizkidayo does this work for you?” It was a humorous way to address the shade thrown at him by Wizkid, proving once again that Basketmouth is skilled at turning situations into comedic gold.
The video garnered a lot of attention online, with fans and celebrities praising Basketmouth’s witty comeback. Rather than getting upset, he transformed the shade into a promotional moment, showcasing his sense of humor and resilience.
