Basketmouth replies critics of outfit to Zuckerberg meeting

Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth, has responded to those who criticised the outfit he wore to a meeting of Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, and Nigerian entertainers on Wednesday.

The Abia-born Bright Okpocha came under heavy criticism for wearing a suit and other accessories to the parley while the 6th richest man in the world – worth more than $52billion dollars – came in his trademark T-shirt, jeans and sneakers.

Drawing a comparison between both men, some haters called Basketmouth extravagant, arrogant and proud for out-dressing a man richer than him hundredth times over.

Zuckerberg, however, gave the comedian the ammunition to hit back at his critics when he appeared at Aso Rock on Friday for a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in suit.

Throwing a subtle shade at critics, Basketmouth uploaded a picture on Instagram – acquired by Facebook on April 12, 2012 for approximately US$1 billion – with the caption “And Mark Zuckerberg wore a suit…..hmmmm.”

And Mark Zuckerberg wore a suit…..hmmmm.
