He also noted that he and his wife will continue to work together to give their children the best care while they navigate other aspects of their lives separately.

In his words, "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. We humbly ask that you respect our privacy as we navigate through these times. Thank you."

The comedian and his entrepreneur wife, Elsie, met in 2003. At that time, Basketmouth had gone to the University of Lagos, which happens to be Elsie's school, to promote his first big show, titled 'Basketmouth Uncensored.'
