In an unexpected twist, two major figures in Nigerian comedy, Ayodeji Richard Makun, known as AY, and Bright Okpocha, better known as Basketmouth, took the internet by storm with an incredible sit-down.

Their long-anticipated meeting was featured on AY’s talk show, Glasshouse with AY, where they discussed the deep wounds from an 18-year feud that has impacted the industry and changed loyalties.

This conflict, which started over a small amount of N30,000, grew into a well-known rivalry that captivated Nigeria’s entertainment world for nearly twenty years.

AY opened the conversation with a serious yet light-hearted tone, reminding Basketmouth of the notorious N30,000 debt that started their rivalry.

Basketmouth responded by claiming he had paid the debt through an intermediary, which added another twist.

They then discussed the fallout, each sharing how the feud grew larger than they intended. AY noted how their colleagues stoked the flames, turning a small misunderstanding into a significant rift between them.

In an emotional moment, AY shared a video of Salvador, a protégé of Basketmouth, showcasing his talent at an AY event. Salvador opened up about how the rivalry hurt his career, preventing him from performing for AY’s audience.

This situation revealed the struggles faced by emerging artists caught in the feud.

He highlighted that one of AY’s devoted supporters even had a disagreement with him, illustrating how much their conflict had intensified rivalries.

In a twist of irony, Basketmouth joked that since he and AY are now talking, those who chose sides might feel silly. He emphasized that no one benefits when coworkers get involved in personal disputes that don’t concern them.
