  Basketmouth How long have you been married? Now, it’s 11 years. How did you meet your wife? I was promoting a show, that’s my first show back then, in Lagos and I went to the University of Lagos to promote it, then I shared my flyers myself. I was in one of the hostels when I saw her pass by. I walked up to her and we had a conversation. I asked for her contact and she gave me a fake number. I tried calling the number, it was some other guy that picked it up and was mad. I went back to that same spot, I can’t remember how many days I kept going back there before I saw her pass by. I approached her again and got the correct number. (Laughs). Actually, I called her (after I got the correct number) and she wasn’t receptive so I stopped calling and deleted the number.

That was the last time I collected the number because she was stubborn and I don’t have time f...
