on his way to making his mark in the

Tequila events to perform alongside Julius
Agwu on a tour called ‘Play It Safe Tour’
which covered more than 30 higher
institutions in Nigeria. He also performed at
a concert called ‘Hanging Out With The
Home Boys’’ and because of the audience’s
love of his brand of humour, the show
extended his activities to the Monthly
Motherland Concert hosted by no-other than
Lagbaja. But Basket Mouth officially became
a household name after he was introduced
to Opa Williams by Alibaba who went on to
feature him in the legendary Night Of A
