On Instagram today, January 13, 2016, ace comedian, Bright Okpocha a.k.a Basketmouth revealed that he is now a Knight.

In the photo, he posted, Basketmouth got knighted by the “Queen Elizabeth of England”. This was followed with several congratulatory messages while some others still believed it was hoax.

He wrote:

“Guess who just got knighted by the Queen of England……I’m humbled, God is truly amazing. Your majesty, thank you for the great honor….yours truly Sir Okpocha Bright.”

Reports circulating reveal that the Queen of England is currently ill and that she always wears gloves, so it was questionable if she indeed knighted Basketmouth besides the people used in the photo appeared like wax figures.

However, Basket mouth has cleared the air after he posted a video of the ceremony, which was meant to promote his upcoming comedy show in the UK.
