Comedian, Basketmouth’s ex-wife, Elsie Okpocha, has threatened to sue anyone spreading false news about her failed marriage.
The estranged couple got married in November 2010 and broke up in 2022 December.
Basketmouth, who announced the end of their in an Instagram post, claimed that the decision was sequel to much deliberations between the two of them.
But the claims of the paternity fraud surfaced on social media a month ago after a blog reported that Basketmouth during an interview allegedly disclosed that DNA results of their first child led to their divorce.
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.”
