Basketmouth’s former wife, Elsie Okpocha, has strongly denied circulating claims that paternity fraud was responsible for the breakdown of their marriage, warning that legal action will be taken against anyone spreading such reports.
The couple, who got married in November 2010, officially ended their marriage in December 2022. At the time, the comedian announced the separation on social media, stating that the decision was reached after careful and mutual consideration.
However, controversy recently emerged after a blog alleged that comments made during an interview suggested that DNA test results involving their first child played a role in the divorce.

The claim quickly gained traction across social media platforms.
Responding to the allegations, Elsie, through her legal representatives, dismissed the reports as false and unfounded.
In a formal statement, she cautioned individuals and media platforms against publishing or sharing such claims, describing them as defamatory and an invasion of privacy.
She further emphasized the potential emotional impact of the rumours, particularly on their child, noting that misinformation could expose him to bullying both online and offline.
Elsie reiterated her stance that anyone found responsible for spreading the allegations would face legal consequences, stressing the need to protect her family from harmful speculation.
