In an exclusive chat with Legit TV, the award-winning comedian opened up on his plan to touch on different parts of the entertainment industry which include music, television and online media.

Basketmouth disclosed that the decision was borne out of introspection and coming to the realization that he has achieved a lot in his career as a comedian and there’s nothing possibly new that can beat his current record.

The comedian also added that when it comes to his involvement in television, he has scored quite a commendable feat especially with his highly-acclaimed comedy series, Flatmates.

Basketmouth said this made him consider tapping into the online space which seems to be drawing the attention of many nowadays. This, according to him, is what inspired his popular web series, Papa Benji.

Speaking further, the ace comedian explained that after putting out his web series he was inspired to tap into the music industry. This was what gave birth to his debut album, Yabasi, which features several top names in the music industry.
