Lagos-based comedian, Basketmouth, has revisited his journey in the genre, saying he had been funny since when he was in primary school.
He, however, said that although he has made it in the business, his target for 2025 was movie production.
In an interview with ‘Pulse’, Basketmouth said: “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.
“I started with music but I saw that it wasn’t going to work. I have always been funny since primary school but music was just a talent I felt I could use as a plaything. Rap was my thing but after a while, I realised that it wasn’t going the way I want. Then I tried comedy, it was even by fluke. I was like, ‘this one is working. It must be the one”.
According to him, his entry into comedy was accidental, but he quickly found success after overcoming initial challenges.
“When I entered comedy, the beginning was turbulent but immediately I hacked it, my career skyrocketed”, he said.
