Popular comedian and actor, AY, has continued to speak out about his 17-year-old beef with his colleague, Basketmouth.
It is worth recalling that in a recent in-depth interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, AY revealed that his feud with fellow comedian, Basketmouth dates back to 2006.
In a clip of the interview that first went viral on social media, AY shared how an unpaid N30,000 caused the rift that has continued to this day. (Read Here)
The last part of the interview, posted on social media by Chude Jideonwo, revealed a number of other events that made their relationship “irreparable” over the years.
According to AY, he continued to try to mend their relationship after the 2006 incident and even attempted to attend Basketmouth’s wedding, but was denied entry into the venue.
He said that although his wife’s name was on the guest list, his wasn’t, so they had to go home without attending the wedding.
“When we arrived, my wife’s name was on the guest list, but my own was noticeably missing. I was looking at my wife, my wife was looking at me, and she said, let’s be going home since you are not qualified to enter.” He said.
AY claimed that the feud was so bad that Basketmouth sometimes refused to introduce him at events where they were both billed to perform.
“It’s so bad that my name will be removed from an event sometimes. Basket will be at an event. Maybe AY is on the bill, and he won’t introduce me if he’s the MC. I will just go and pick up my mic on the floor and go and do my thing. But I never gave up. Every opportunity, maybe the wife gives birth, I would go with my wife, or maybe something is going on. I kept doing everything.
”One day, Basket was in the club with a glass of drink, so I walked up to him. I said: Bright Okpocha (He’s my senior colleague but my junior in real), how far my guy. As you can see, God has blessed us. You have a house in Lekki, I have a house. You have a child. I have a child. This thing that happened in 2006 guy drop am.
“And my dear colleague looked at me eyeball to eyeball and said, I’m a beast. I don’t forgive.” He added.
