Amid His Beef With AY, Basketmouth Says He Will Quit Comedy, Gives Reason

Popular veteran standup comedian, Bright Okpocha popular as Basketmouth, has disclosed that he will quit comedy in the next five years. 

His revelation comes a few days after his longstanding colleague, Ayo Makun ( AY) accused him of betraying him so many years ago. 

However, Basketmouth decision to quit comedy has no link to his beef with AY. Basketmouth while speaking on Hitz FM, stated that he intends to quit comedy in the next five years. He said he is glad for the wealth he has gained through his more than  two decades career in comedy.

He said his involvement in comedy will thereafter be on casual level other than remaining a professional comedian.

 "For the past six years I have just been floating, last year I told myself and my team, you know what I am going back to comedy I want to do five years and I am quitting. I am quitting in 5 years. I have got five years to do this and I am done. I will still be cracking jokes but it wouldn't be a professional thing. So if you see me doing any gig, it is maybe I am doing pro bono but i will not charge anybody to perform again. I have made enough, I have committed myself to the art enough to take a break or quit. I am now into movies, series, and concert production. I want to experience something new and I want to be remembered for something else other than comedy",he said.
