Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, famously known as Basketmouth, has shared the only scenario that would lead to his retirement from comedy.
Basketmouth’s revelation came after learning about the substantial amount Grammy winner Burna Boy commands for his performances. Discussing on the Honest Bunch, he disclosed that Burna Boy often earns between three to four million dollars per music performance.
Despite the staggering figures, Basketmouth expressed his unwavering commitment to comedy. He emphasized that even if he were offered such a lucrative sum for a single show, it would mark his final performance.
Reflecting on Burna Boy’s refusal of a $5 million deal to perform in Dubai, Basketmouth’s stance underscores his dedication to his craft, prioritizing his passion for comedy over financial incentives.
