Why I Stopped Being MC at Weddings – Basketmouth

Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth has explained why he stopped taking master of ceremony (MC) roles at wedding events.
According to him, the reason was to preserve his artistic integrity.
“Hosting events as an MC feels like adulterating the art,” he said in a chat with journalists at the premiere of his first feature film ‘A Ghetto Love Story‘.
Speaking further, he clarified that he only stopped being MC at private gigs like weddings, not entirely quitting duties as host.
He added that if invited to a private gig, “I will be doing standup comedy, not the MC”.
“The only thing I have stopped is private gigs like weddings and all. It is a sacrifice I have to make because I do standup comedy, that is what I do. I did not enter this industry to be an MC of a wedding and all that,” he said.
“So I felt like I was adulterating the art, I felt bad about it and I had to stop. So if I am doing a private gig, I be doing standup comedy, not the MC.
 
“Let me just do my 30 minutes and bounce, but not as the MC of any event. I cannot do it anymore, that is like I am cheating on my craft. I am losing a lot of money but it is not about the money now.”
