Popular Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, better known by his stage name Basketmouth, has voiced his opinions about the marital drama between music legend 2Baba and his wife Annie Idibia.

On social media, he posted a video of himself answering questions about why, after more than 20 years of being friends with the couple, he had remained silent. The comedian noted that, given his divorce from his wife, he is not qualified nor in a position to talk on the subject.

Basketmouth stated that he doesn't want to drag himself this year, which is why he is remaining mute. He declared that addressing Toke and other contributors was the only way he would raise his voice.

He agreed with a lot of people that 2Baba ought to have waited before announcing the divorce and should have asked his opinion first.

He said, “I have been receiving lots of emails and DMs; people dey ask me, ‘Bright, why don’t you want to get involved in these Tuface and Annie’s matters?

First of all, to address you people, I am not in any position to get involved. I am not qualified at all, me especially. Make I no go talk the one wey go make people remember my own, con drag my head.

This 2025, wey we just enter, it’s a New Year and I am just trying to have undraggable year. So please, don’t push me.

You know I have known Tuface for almost half of my life, 27 years, and Annie for 24 years, and I respect and love these guys. My heart goes to them. If I am going to get involved in any way, it is to address you guys wey dey talk too much for their matter. Let’s just back off. They have got kids, they’ve got a family. Everybody just dey talk, Toke talk, this one dey talk, other things dey to talk about.

Personally, Tuface did me a strong thing. Personally, he fucked me up because, based on the fact say me and him don be men for a long time, e should have called me and told me what he wanted to do or post, and I would have put him through. I would have told him not to post it now and post it around late February because I get a tour; I have a show in Manchester on the 14th, and I have a show in London and other cities. Now this thing come outside, which mouth wey I wan take use promote show, because people will say I am insensitive but in fact, the money wey me and Ropo invest for this tour dey very sensitive."
