Ace Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha, professionally known as Basketmouth, has refused to address the claim by his colleague, Ayodeji Richard Makun, popularly known as AY that the cause of their feud was a debt of N30,000.
Recall that AY Makun stated in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo that at the beginning of his career, Basketmouth frequently contacted him to perform at events.
He claimed that the 17-year rivalry with Basketmouth began following an occasion he went to which the planners had anticipated Basketmouth’s attendance.
He admitted that he hadn’t been paid and that he had to contact Basketmouth, who confirmed that the organizers hadn’t done so.
AY claimed that when he called the event’s organizers, he was astounded to learn that payment had already been made.
When questioned about the situation during a live comedy performance, Basketmouth responded that he didn’t want to remark or give his side of the tale.
He clarified that he does not want the actor to ever receive an answer from him and he does not want what he says to be interpreted by the public as an official statement to AY.
