Basketmouth Laments How Funke Stopped Picking Her Calls
Nigerian comedian-turned-filmmaker, Bright Okpocha, better known as Basketmouth, set the media abuzz with his latest revelation about a leading Nollywood figure, Funke Akindele.
Basketmouth laid bare the struggles he faced while creating his first major cinema release, A Ghetto Love Story.
Basketmouth, delving into the intricate details of his filmmaking journey, revealed that Funke Akindele was his initial choice—a mentor he believed could anchor his project from start to finish.
“With collaborations with filmmakers, it was dramatic. When I started calling all these like Mo Abudu and the rest of them, you know, I had a plan. I was going to start with Funke Akindele, and just run it all through.
“But when I called Funke, she was excited and that was in August, and then the next thing, she never picked up my calls again. But she was making a movie, maybe she was busy, or her phone was on silent, or maybe the phone got spoilt. But yeah, I hope she picks up or responds to my messages.”

As he described, what followed was a series of unreturned calls, unanswered texts, and a deafening silence that stretched on. “So I had to change the whole plan and re-strategize. I had to go to Mo Abudu, this and that, but the rest of them came through,” he added.
Unlike his previous encounter, he said Mo responded with enthusiasm and immediately embraced his vision, stepped in to fill the gap, and helped bring ‘A Ghetto Love Story’ to life.
“I called Mo and normally she doesn’t do stuff like that, but she jumped on it. Sooner or later, I believe that filmmakers in Nigeria will get to understand that collaboration is a new competition.”
