He was on the #middayshow with Do2dtun and Eve so he talked about the genesis of his career “I started music first before I did comedy” Basket shed more light on how he formed a rap group but could not make it work due to lack of acceptance as of that time, so he switched to comedy.

“Can you say you are fulfilled as a comedian?” Do2dtun asked him and he gave a really emotional answer about his journey and his achievements as a comedian in Nigeria. “I’m not fulfilled in comedy yet, there are places I would love to perform and people I would love to perform with. But in Nigeria, I feel fulfilled” He explained things and plans he still has for comedy globally.
