Basketmouth Turns a Year Older, Partner Miz Vicki Pens Emotional Tribute

Nigerian comedian and actor Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, is celebrating his birthday today, September 14, and the love from his partner, Victoria Eze aka Miz Vicki, has taken center stage.

Vicki, who has been openly supportive of the entertainer, took to Instagram to celebrate him with a heartfelt message. Describing Basketmouth as her “Partner, Bestfriend and Ace,” she praised his creative brilliance while highlighting the warmth and kindness of his heart.

In her tribute, she wrote:

“You’ve been a ‘Bright’ light in a dark world, illuminating the way for everyone around you. Even when you can’t find your own way, even when you need the light yourself, I celebrate you today and every day.”

The actress and media personality showered him with affirmations of loyalty, promising to remain “behind you, beside you, always.”

This public declaration comes months after Basketmouth revealed the end of his 12-year marriage to Elsie, the mother of his three children. Since then, his relationship with Miz Vicki has gradually become public, with today’s post cementing their bond in the eyes of fans.
