Nigerian comedian, popularly known as Basketmouth has revealed he is no longer taking master of ceremony (MC) roles at wedding events.
The comedian revealed that while he knows he is losing a lot of money by turning down MC gigs, he doesn’t mind because doing it made him feel bad.
According to Basketmouth, he had to make the sacrifice in a bid to preserve his artistic integrity.
He said, “The only thing I have stopped is private gigs like weddings and all. It is a sacrifice I have to make because I do standup comedy, that is what I do. I did not enter this industry to be an MC of a wedding and all that.”
“So I felt like I was adulterating the art, I felt bad about it and I had to stop. So if I am doing a private gig, I be doing standup comedy, not the MC.
“Let me just do my 30 minutes and bounce, but not as the MC of any event. I cannot do it anymore, that is like I am cheating on my craft. I am losing a lot of money but it is not about the money now.”
