The stand-up comedian had on Thursday, December 22, announced he has separated from the mother of his kids after 12 years of Marriage.
He took to social media to disclose the news of the break-up, saying the decision was “unavoidable” and “painful” for him and his wife.

“As we move forward separately, we will continue to work together to give our beautiful children all the care, love, guidance and support they need.”

However, in a now-viral video — dated 2019 — the ex-couple was seen agreeing that nothing can lead to their divorce in an interview.
They also described their union as a “good marriage” where divorce won’t be an option.
“Nothing can cause our divorce. The thing is there is no good marriage that ends up in divorce and we have a good marriage so nothing,” Basketmouth said
“Divorce is not on the table, it isn’t possible. I like this guy too much that’s the thing,” Elsie added.
After the old video found its way to several social media platforms, the father of four, who was embarrassed by the new development, decided to pull down the post confirming his separation from his ex-wife
