Due to the latter’s conversation with Chude Jideonwo, popular comedians Basketmouth, and AY Makun have recently been receiving attention on social media.
Recall that AY stressed the value of respect in their profession and talked about the 17-year-long conflict between himself and Basketmouth in the most recent interview.
AY said that the conflict between himself and Basketmouth was the result of a failed business deal. In his quest to get his money back from Basketmouth, AY acknowledged that he had made a bad choice.
Yet, Basketmouth’s earlier interview on the subject was revived as a result of AY’s conversation with Chude, which further generated online interest.
In the face of the saga, cybernauts exhumed an old interview video of Basketmouth with media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
During the old interview, Basketmouth was asked about his ongoing feud with AY. While he did not provide specific details, he did allude to the fact that he (AY) had violated the principle of loyalty in some way.
According to Basketmouth, he had confided in AY about something in the past, but AY then shared that information with a third party (his lawyer, Magnus) without his consent. This breach of confidence caused lasting damage to their relationship as colleagues in the comedy industry.
Basketmouth acknowledged that he and AY had a good relationship before the incident occurred.
