Stand-up comedian, Basketmouth has revealed plans to shift his focus to music and filmmaking.
In a recent interview, the comedian stated that he intends to take music more seriously, releasing EPs and collaborating with other artists.
Basketmouth also expressed his desire to transition into filmmaking full-time, citing it as his first love.
The comedian revealed that he initially pursued a career in music before turning to comedy.
He said, “I am going to take music more seriously in 2025. I want to create EPs because there are some artistes I want to work with.
“I want to go into music and movies full-time. To be honest, movies are my first choice. I prioritise movies over comedy. It has always been like that, it is just that I have not made the movie yet.
“I started with music but I saw that it was not going to work. I have always been funny since primary school but music was just a talent I felt I could use as a plaything. Rap was my thing but after a while, I realised that it was not going the way I wanted. Then I tried comedy, it was even by fluke. I was like, ‘this one is working. It must be the one”.
According to him, his entry into comedy was accidental, but he quickly found success after overcoming initial challenges.
“When I entered comedy, the beginning was turbulent but immediately I hacked it, my career skyrocketed”, he said.
