Veteran comedian Bright Okpocha, also known as Basketmouth, reveals why his colleague AY Makun won’t be participating at his Lagos concert this Sunday after putting an end to their 17-year feud.
You may remember that the two biggest personalities in the comedy business weren’t exactly on speaking terms until this year. Their problem seems to stem from an incident that happened 17 years ago, which led to them fighting for more than ten years, avoiding each other and not speaking.
Basketmouth announced that he would not be appearing at his concert tonight, despite having publicly apologized to AY and ending their long-running feud.
He explained that because the event is staged, AY Makun will not be performing or making a cameo appearance at the one scheduled to take place at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
He disclosed this information during an interview with Arise TV news.
Basketmouth said …
“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 they 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.”
