"Basketmouth'', has slammed bloggers for rushing to off load new
materials on their platforms without making efforts to investigate.
Basketmouth was angry that a tribute he paid to his brother, who died
10 years ago, was made to look like something that happened in 2015.
Returning from his Valentine's Day show at the Apollo Centre in
London, which was a sell-out, the humour merchant advised bloggers to
take time to verify information at their disposal.
On February 14, 2015, Basketmouth posted on his tweeter handle,
"you'll always be remembered, loved and cherished. RIP Kingsley
Okpocha. I love you bro."
According to him, the item was posted by some bloggers "as if i just
lost my brother."
"Anyway, I lost my eldest brother on the 14th of Feb 2005, not 2 days
ago," Basketmouth wrote.
"When our Nigerian bloggers copy and paste stories they don't even
investigate nor carry out proper research," he added.
Meanwhile, some of his fans, unaware of the hoax have continued to
tweet their condolences to the comedian.
