Jokes Apart, Basketmouth and AY Fights Get Messier

Laughter, merriment, and fun are three components that can replace the light of the sun in a place. However, what happens when these
components are replaced by fury, malice, and fighting? This is what is currently happening with two popular laughter merchants in Nigeria,
namely, Basketmouth (real name Bright Okpocha) and AY (real name Ayo Makun). According to the most recent reports, the feud
between these comedians has gotten messier, reaching the point of their followers throwing dirt across the fence. From the reports on
social media, AY and Basketmouth hate each other’s guts.

The gist is as follows: there was a time that AY performed as a replacement for
Basketmouth, but the latter attempted to dupe him and eventually refused to pay the pittance of N30,000 for the exercise. This is the narrative
from AY’s perspective and why he wants nothing to do with Basketmouth.

However, Basketmouth has stated that he does not remember the incident. Furthermore, he has disclosed that he and AY were never
friends. As for the event in question, Basketmouth explained that he does not owe AY and has never reached out to the latter. Furthermore, he

knows that AY is lying about everything and is using this as an avenue to sell tickets for his shows.
Needless to say, both of these comedians are no longer joking. But how this would affect their future endeavours is something that is yet to
be seen.
