Unpaid ₦30k Caused my 17 years rift with Basketmouth –Comedian AY

Published

Comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly called, AY Comedian has opened up about his long time beef with his colleague, Basket Mouth. A lot of Fans have been keen on trying to understand why the duo never got along And have never worked together in their comedy world. Their distance from each other is something that can’t be hidden and the reason have been kept undisclosed until recently.

In an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, AY revealed how Basketmouth used to connect him with events when he was starting out in the comedy industry, and how a particular event sparked the rift.

He said, “In 2006, (Basketmouth) usually will get gigs like weddings – multiple gigs on a Saturday, maybe 2/3 weddings. So what he used to do at that point in time was to attend one, then at a point, leave the venue and catch up in the other venue and then you will need someone else to stand in for you. That was the opportunity I got from him of which I am very appreciative of till date.

“Now, something funny happened. One of the gigs per se, I got his endorsement to go stand in. Usually what we get at that time is N30,000 and 30,000 at that time was everything to me. 30,000 would buy me my pack of indomie, recharge cards, fuel for my ‘I better pass my neighbor’ generator and then the opportunity to pay just one or two people to join me to do one or two skits that I can just quickly put out.

“I got this job, and the people weren’t too happy to see me around the venue because they were expecting a Basketmouth to come. Long story short, the guy was later happy after the performance. There was an exchange of contacts. Then I left.

“Two weeks running, I haven’t seen 30k. Because I didn’t see the 30k, and I was starving in Iponri, I decided to ask for 30K and he said this person hasn’t remitted, this person hasn’t paid, you they’re not happy because of this and all of that.

“And then me I was like, ahahn… but this person na, shebi you tell me say you were impressed and happy? Give my oga hin money na, make my oga take settle me and all of that. Me, I don’t care if you give Basket 100k for the job but my 30k is my 30k.

“It was very funny to now hear from them, knowing that this full payment has been made long before the event.

“I said ‘O-kay, is that the situation?’. So I forwarded this one’s message to this one and vice versa. So they now started fighting each other and all of that.

“I didn’t do that because I wanted to get at Basketmouth per se. I did that because I was hungry, I was hustling and needed food on the table at the time.”

He also explained how he tried so many times to make Peace with Basketmouth, But Basketmouth wasn’t hearing any of it. He said Basketmouth Actually looked at him and told him that He (Basketmouth) was a Beast and he doesn’t Forgive.

He said Even during Basketmouth’s wedding, Only His wife’s name was on the guest list, And they prevented him from entering the wedding hall. So him and his wife had to return home.

The Igbo rapper has dropped some intelligent words of wisdom for the up and coming artists.

Read what he had to say;

“Some people look at us today and think we got it easy, Not at all.

“Infact I’ve never loved easy things. Before many people heard of Phyno, I’ve had songs that no one knew exist.

“A couple of friends told me to blow, I must join a cult or sacrifice something or someone, I told him the price is too much. I’ll never do such.

“I believed in myself and the power of hard work, I started little and today I thank God.

“Young talents need to relax, do not be desperate about record deals or being on the spotlight. keep working, when it’s time you’ll shine.

“Imagine begging a label to sign you , what kind of terms will they give you? They already know you are desperate and they will use you. At the beginning you might not see it but give it time, you’ll regret it. Nothing pays more than hard work and consistency” – Phyno

Rapper Phyno

Thank you Phyno for this. We hope the up and coming artists pay attention and follow this words of wisdom.

A word is enough for the wise though.

There have been controversies surrounding the death of the 27-year-old singer, with allegations of a threat to life while Mohbad was alive.

Hundeyin, in an Instagram live session with media personality Ifedayo Olarinde aka Daddy Freeze on Thursday, said the police will carry out investigations into the cause of the death of the late singer.

His words: The Force PRO issued a statement this evening (Thursday) saying that an investigation would commence, and that is what we are going to do.

“If need be, the body would be exhumed. It’s not too late. The body can be exhumed. An autopsy can be performed, and the [Force PRO’s] statement also states that people should bring whatever information they have to the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State.
