Stand-up comedian Oghenekowhoyan Onaibe Desmond, known as Destalker, asserted that fellow comedian Bright Okocha, popularly called Basketmouth, is obstructing his progress in the comedy field.
Destalker made these remarks during a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, widely recognized as Nedu.
He recounted instances where potential sponsors declined to support him, citing his senior colleagues. Destalker questioned why, despite winning the Best Comedian award for five consecutive years, he still struggled to secure sponsorship for his performances.
He said: “How can I win best comedian for five years, I do show, no sponsor? I wrote proposals, there are companies that agreed to come in, but they would say, ‘Okay, I will talk to some of your senior colleagues.’ That is my problem.
“Somebody called me one day and said, ‘What do you have with Basketmouth?’ I said nothing and he said go and beg him.”
On allegations that he is using voodoo, Destalker said, “When Akpororo dey hot, I believe say he was using something. Everybody wants to be successful. Your dream is to become successful. Now, do you know some people’s dream is to make sure you are not successful?”
