Basketmouth Opens His Mouth On Quarrel With AY

Leading stand-up comedian, Bright Okpocha, aka as Basketmouth has opened up on the famed quarrel between him and fellow comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY.

Speaking during a Black Box interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Basketmouth also opened up on stories that he snatched Bovi from AY.

Asked of the truth behind the claim of a quarrel between him and AY, Basketmouth said:

“I’d have stayed where the competition is. I still do standup comedy but not with great energy because I’m targeting all-around entertainment now. My competition is me. There’s nothing [like a feud] between AY and I,” Basketmouth, 43 said.

“He came in my space; messed with loyalty by saying something to my lawyer Magnus that I told him in private. It was nothing but it was enough to cause a rift and have me put up the walls. We made peace and he apologised. I have no single problem with AY as claimed. We don’t talk.”

He, however, confirmed that the two comedians had made peace, saying “We made peace and he apologized.”

On the claim that he snatched Bovi from AY, he said:

“I did not snatch Bovi. Bovi is not a girl,” the comedian said stating that he met Bovi in Abuja at a show for the first time and they both connected from that point.

“Bovi and I went to Abuja. He performed. I was blown away. When he was done, we talked about what he could do better. We’d been friends but that was the first I saw him perform. I didn’t know any background story,” he said.

“I proposed that we do business together and we clicked. I was already hearing claims before and after the settled rift with AY.

“My concern is increasing my audience, not feuds. How do I make viewers follow religiously? I have a film coming, a special coming next year ‘The Voices In My Head’, a sitcom coming to TV, another album. These I worry about.”
