Nigerian entertainment icon Bright Okpocha, famously known as Basketmouth, has announced a bold shift in his career. The comedian, who has been a staple in the industry for decades, revealed his plans to fully dedicate himself to music and filmmaking in 2025, marking a new chapter in his artistic journey.
In a candid interview with Pulse, Basketmouth disclosed that comedy was never his primary passion, describing his foray into the craft as a “fluke.”
“I’m going to take music more seriously in 2025,” he said. “I want to create EPs and collaborate with some amazing artists. But above all, movies are my first love. They’ve always been my priority, even over comedy. It’s just that I haven’t made the movie yet.”
Reflecting on his beginnings, Basketmouth revealed that his original dream was to build a career in music. “Rap was my thing,” he shared. “But it wasn’t going the way I wanted, so I gave comedy a try. At first, it was rough, but once I figured it out, everything skyrocketed.”
Known for his comedic genius, Basketmouth has spent years making audiences laugh across the globe. However, his passion for storytelling and music has remained a constant undercurrent in his career. With this announcement, fans are eagerly anticipating what the multi-talented star will bring to the table as he embarks on this creative pivot.
The stage is set, and 2025 promises to be a groundbreaking year for Basketmouth as he steps into the spotlight not just as a comedian, but as a filmmaker and musician.
