LIB Exclusive: Basketmouth finally opens up on love child

Ace comedian Basketmouth has two kids, a boy and a girl, with his wife Elsie. What most of you do not know is that he has another daughter with an ex. Basketmouth talks about his love child for the first time in this exclusive interview with LIB. Find it below...
There's this story that won't just go away that suggests you have a love child?
Basketmouth "I wouldn't refer to her as a love child. She's my child that people didn't know of. Yes I have a daughter with my ex-girlfriend. Its not a comfortable topic to discuss because I wouldn't want to put anybody under pressure. As long as my family is happy and I'm on the same page with my wife, my siblings, my mum, my pastor and the family of my daughter, that's all that actually matters.
When did you have the child?
Basketmouth: years ago, a while before my wedding. Continue...
How did your wife react to the news?
Basketmouth: You can guess.
Why did you wait till now before choosing to come clean?
It's never been a hidden issue. That its private doesn't make it hidden.

"love children" everywhere....! I think abortion becomes common when poverty looms around!...money is almost a "ladder" the lifts up your sense of responsibility

LINDA NO TELL ME SAY NA ONLY 4 QUESTIONS U ASK AM!!!

oralhealthpro said...

can they just leave him and his past alone.. the most important thing is he is successful

Peejay said...

Celebs and their closet children. Sigh. Anyway, it's not so much an issue if his wife knew about the child before she got married to him. Bottomline, it's their own cup of tea.

i like his responds...Ni'ima

Unknown said...

Its ok. As long as he is leaving up to his responsibity towards the child then its very acceptable. It could have been a different issue if he denied th girl in the first place just like Wizkid and the rest of them did at first instance before finally accepting their action towards the critical period when they knew situation was out of hand. Wishing him the best in his career. I'm out. ***CATCH ME IF U CAN***

Lol @ you can guess..... having a child outside ones matrimonial home is an indirect form of of polygamy as it also brings tension to the home. Please young guys should try and avoid this.

A child is a gift, no matter how it happens. Just raise the child well in an atmosphere of love.
