Elsie Okpocha, the ex-wife of comedian Basketmouth, has vowed to sue anyone who disseminates misleading information about her failed marriage.
The estranged couple separated in December 2022 after getting married in November 2010.
In an Instagram post announcing their breakup, Basketmouth stated that the decision was the result of extensive discussion between the two of them.
However, the allegations of paternity fraud first appeared on social media a month ago when a site claimed that Basketmouth had revealed in an interview that their divorce was caused by the DNA results of their first kid.
Reacting to the controversy on Saturday in a letter by her legal representative, Primeview Legal, Elsie denied the paternity fraud allegation and warned the public to desist from “false and unfounded” publications.
She further threatened to sue any individual or blogs found guilty of spreading such news for defamation, and invasion of privacy.

Expressing concerns over the psychological effects of such reports on her first child, she said in the legal letter shared on her Instagram page “some innocent members of the public may take such publications as the true state of things in the marriage and begin to bully their son on and off social media spaces with the consequential psychological trauma that will be inflicted on him, hence this intervention.”
In September 2025, comedian Bovi revealed the reasons behind his breakup with Basketmouth.
According to reports, the two well-known comedians used to work together on stage before their interests shifted.
However, Bovi ascribed the growth to his sense of financial freedom when he talked about his relationship with Basketmouth in a social media interview that went viral.
Although Bovi acknowledged that he was no longer able to share funds with his coworkers following the cooperation, he said that the move had given him the chance to advance financially.
“Basketmouth and I are cool. Nothing happened. Interests changed. I wanted to focus more and spend more time with my family, and also to elevate myself.
