During the premiere of his film, ‘A Ghetto Love Story’, Basketmouth shared his reasons with journalists.
He prioritized preserving his artistic integrity over financial gains.
Clarifying his stance, Basketmouth emphasized that he only stopped MCing at private events like weddings, not entirely quitting hosting duties.
Basketmouth acknowledged the financial sacrifice but remains resolute.
“The only thing I have stopped is private gigs like weddings and all. It is a sacrifice I have to make because I do standup comedy, that is what I do. I did not enter this industry to be an MC of a wedding and all that.”
“So I felt like I was adulterating the art, I felt bad about it and I had to stop. So if I am doing a private gig, I be doing standup comedy, not the MC.
“Let me just do my 30 minutes and bounce, but not as the MC of any event. I cannot do it anymore, that is like I am cheating on my craft. I am losing a lot of money but it is not about the money now.”
