Online users were set abuzz after comedian Basketmouth, real name Bright Okpocha, shared a seemingly romantic photo with media personality Victoria Eze on Instagram, hinting at a “new chapter” in his life. The post led to widespread speculation of a new relationship or engagement, leaving fans both excited and skeptical, with some suspecting it might be a prank.
In the photo, Basketmouth and Eze, popularly known as Miz Vick, posed together, with the caption, “About to step into the next chapter of my life.” This cryptic message fueled engagement rumors, keeping fans engaged and promoting his upcoming film.
However, Basketmouth quickly cleared the air, dismissing the engagement rumors as a playful stunt. In a video posted on his social media, the comedian admitted the post was a lighthearted attempt to “chase clout.” Laughing at the reaction, he teased, “Dem fall for am…hahahah!”
The comedian used the viral moment to introduce his upcoming film, A Ghetto Love Story. The teaser promises a gripping and heartfelt narrative, with Eze adding, “We have finally made our very first feature-length film, and I’m really excited because I wrote it.”
Basketmouth also revealed that the film’s storyline is inspired by his own life experiences, stating, “This thing happened to me in real life. I experienced it.” Set to premiere in November, the movie features a star-studded cast including Nkem Owoh, Patience Ozokwor, Wale Ojo, and Mercy Johnson, among others. However, the official release date remains under wraps.
The relationship stunt serves as a clever marketing tactic for Basketmouth, drawing attention to his new project. Known for his comedic genius, Basketmouth’s move comes after his 2022 divorce from Elsie, his wife of over a decade, which shocked fans both on and off social media.
