Popular stand-up comedian, born Bright Okpocha, better known as
Basketmouth, has shared his opinion on the negative influence of the
social media on celebrities especially on marriages.
He said celebrities have turned the social media into a church to
settle family issues, adding that they now use social media to wash and
dry their dirty linens.
Speaking with Hip Tv, the father of two said, “I am okay with people
who go on social media to rant but I am against those who have turned it
into a church to settle family issues.
“It is wise for you not to bring out your personal issues on social media and that’s what I stand for.
“Normally, if you have a marital problem, you call your wife one on
one. If you cannot contain it, you call in the parents. That’s how I saw
it when I was growing up which is the culture I have embraced.”
He cited an example with the marriage feud between popular singer,
Tiwa Savage and her estranged husband, Teebillz which broke the internet
recently.
He said, “In Teebillz’ situation, the way he spoke on social media
really appeared as though he was going to commit suicide and said
horrible things to his father.
“Those words were words you say and just die, but now that he is
still alive, how would he face his father? It would have been better if
he had just written a letter to the man instead of putting it online.
“Unfortunately again, he went to blast his wife and his wife’s
mother. These are things that shouldn’t be put online. Another thing is
that Tiwa has a larger following than Teebillz, after Tiwa blasted him,
it was extreme and it crushed him. He had no comeback; there is no
comeback to things like that.
“If it is a clap back at an artiste like yourself, then it is your
choice. Once it gets to family, let those ones be in your house, let
your Instagram and twitter group be between you, her father, her mother
and herself,” Basketmouth added.
