Popular Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has shared his amazing experience with his colleague, Basketmouth.
Keep in mind that the duo has been at odds for years and AY recently revealed it was because of a N30,000 gig. He also said he went to the Basketmouth’s wedding with his wife but was turned away.
Following his revelation, Basketmouth claimed in an interview on The HonestBunch podcast that he had never been friends with AY and has never picked up his phone to call him.
Well, AY recalled receiving a call from Basketmouth amid their feud in a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
AY explained that he bought a car for his wife at the time and shared it on social media, and days later, Basketmouth shared a post condemning showing off on social media.
As expected, people assumed Basketmouth was throwing shade at AY and took to the comments section to make their speculations known.
Surprisingly, AY said Basketmouth called him to explain that he was not referring to him in his message and was very happy with the call.
AY said:
“Something happened that never happened in the history of my knowing Bright Okpocha. Bright Okpocha would not bring himself on the level to apologise to you on anything.
“So, there was a post he made, about people showing off cars, people who just go online and show off stuff when they buy stuff and everything.
“Incidentally, I posted a ride I got my wife two days to that tweet, so people went on his page and were like, ‘Oh, this must be referring to AY’ and for the first time, Bright Okpocha, he carried his phone and called me. If you see how happy I was. Like he called me practically like, ‘guy, see wetin I dey hear o, people are relating what I posted to you, it has nothing to do with you.’
“I was very appreciative of the fact that the Master called, which is very rare, he will never stoop that low.
‘So, that the Master called, I was happy. My belief was that, that is now going to form the balance that I’ve been craving for us to have.”
However, AY said when he returned to Nigeria and tried to maintain that warm relationship with Basketmouth, he was snubbed.
He said: “So, when I came back to Nigeria, he was having a show, I called him, ‘ah this your show that you’re having, incidentally, it’s the same day I’m doing Port Harcourt but we could do like a skit idea and all that’. All the voice note, everything is still in my phone.”
AY said he told Basketmouth: “Let’s do it this way, this way.”
He said Basketmouth replied: “Yeah, I’ll think about it and then we’ll see how we will deal with it.”
As to why he contacted Basketmouth, Ay said, “Because, the Servant was still willing to serve the Master, But guess what? Long story short, e no reach two to three weeks Master just waka pass me for event.”
AY said Basketmouth’s beef has also extended to people associated with him as Basketmouth automatically unsubscribes anyone who associates with him.
