In a surprising twist, Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha, known popularly as Basketmouth, has buried the hatchet with fellow comedian, AY Makun after a 17-year-long feud.
Quest Times learned that Basketmouth extended a friendly invitation to AY to attend his highly anticipated concert in Lagos this Sunday at Eko Hotel & Suites.
Setting the record straight, Basketmouth emphasized that although AY would not be taking the stage or making a cameo appearance, he will be present at the event.
The reconciliation was sealed with a public apology from Basketmouth and revealed during an interview with Arise TV, gaining traction on Sunday.
Addressing speculations about AY’s performance, Basketmouth clarified, “AY is not on the bill to perform but he has got a ticket. He’s attending. I sent him his ticket a few days ago.
“I knew a lot of people have been asking, ‘Is he [AY] gonna perform?’ He’s not on the bill.
“In actual fact, I don’t have that many comedians on the bill. I know Bovi is introducing me. Senator, Dan The Humorous and Aproko from Abuja are performing. I got a few people from Ghana as well.
“AY can’t even make a cameo because my show is already designed. We are recording for TV so it’s a three-hour set. As we speak the guys directing and producing just came into the country about a few days ago.
“And before they even landed, we had already sealed the whole flow of the show. It’s not the kind of show where anybody would just get on stage. It’s not that kind of show. Everything is timed. Precision to perfection.”
