What would have warranted Bright Akpocha, the famous humour merchant popularly known as Basketmout to slap one of his numerous fans in public is still a puzzle. Basketmouth was gatheeed to have thrown decorum to the dustbin at Ecstasy Nite Club, Wuse 2, the venue used for one of ‘AY Shows’ after party in Abuja, sometimes ago.
At the party, we reliably gathered that numerous fans of Basket mouth swooped down on him like bees to honey, just to have a photograph session with their star. The happy fans got the surprise of their lives, when ‘Basketmouth’ in commando like resisted any form of association with the yelling fans, who are even eager to touch their idol, who they only see on TV and watch on stage.
It was at this point that one popular Abuja based DJ walked up to Basketmouth to register his displeasure with the way the Glo Ambassador treated his fans and before one could understand what transpired between Basketmouth and the DJ, Basketmouth’s heavy slap was alleged to have landed on the guy’s face! It took the intervention of AY, the organizer, to calm down the angry fans, who were on the verge of tearing Basketmouth into pieces.
While some close aides of Basketmouth blamed his aggression on the swear words used by the slapped DJ, many people believe that Basketmouth would have handled the situation maturely, not to have stoop so low to have publicly slapped a fan talk less of a colleague in showbiz. One begins to wonder what would happen to Basketmouth if he does that to a Lagos based DJ or to a no-nonsense fan in Lagos.
