Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, known as Basketmouth, has revealed plans to focus fully on music and filmmaking in 2025.
In a recent interview with Pulse, Basketmouth shared that he entered comedy by accident after his music career didn’t take off. He noted that while he initially pursued a career in music, comedy turned out to be his true calling, even though it was a “fluke” at first.
I’m going to take music more seriously in 2025. I want to create EPs because there are some artists I want to work with, Basketmouth said. Movies are my first choice. I prioritize movies over comedy.
Basketmouth added that he started with music but eventually turned to comedy when his musical journey wasn’t progressing as he hoped. Despite the challenges, comedy became his successful path.
Now, he is determined to dive into the world of music and movies full-time, with big plans for the future.
