She told show host Abrantepa that, “The family had gone there to support our husband and father to perform. Just as he was about to thank the audience, Basket Mouth rudely interrupted and demanded he be given the microphone saying it was not a musical show but comedy. In fact, it was totally disrespectful. Many had come because daddy [Pat Thomas] was there to perform”.

According to her, she was angry and left the auditorium after the incident.

“I was pissed off so I left the auditorium. I thought the promoter would apologize there but I was told they apologized to daddy backstage”, she said.

Adding, “Which Ghanaian can do this in Nigeria? Pat Thomas is old enough to be his [Basket Mouth] father and for him to have shown such gross disrespect to him is despicable. He started doing music before you started with your comedy. I was pissed off”.
