Their fans and colleagues took to the post’s comment section to congratulate them. Rumours of their engagement also went viral on social media.
Sharing an update on Friday, the comedian clarified that his previous Instagram post with Miz Vick was for an upcoming movie, not a confirmation of their relationship.
Basketmouth also shared a teaser of the film titled ‘A Ghetto Love Story’ while they both revealed it is their first feature-length film.

On why he used Vick’s photo to tease the project, Basketmouth said, “Oh yes, it is called clout chasing”.
The TV host asked, “and I had to take the fall for it”. The comedian replied, “no, nobody fell now. Na them fall… them fall for am,” the comedian said after which he burst into laughter.
