Nigerian comedian, AY Makun has come out to explain why he and his colleague, Basketmouth, don't talk to each other, IGBERETV reports.

In a Question and Answer session with his followers on Instagram, AY stated that Basketmouth has been battling with his ''uncontrollable superiority complex'' for a while and that to keep his own sanity, he had to avoid Basketmouth's ''incessant childishness''.

He added that he only talks to people who want to talk to him.

See the exchange he had with the follower where he gave his explanation below.

Dbull on this one!

Mtchewww.

Hmmm , why is AY sounding like a lady ? There are somethings you learn to ignore not throwing jabs at your fellow hustler.

You avoid him, he avoid you.. Finish!

Show biz.

Dem wan start their own FC vs Tatibiji

Mtcheww!

Friendship today no be friendship forever

My intuition is telling me the seed of this beef may have been sown during the days of AY's Open Mic events that nurtured many known comedians of today. It is likely that even as an up and coming comedian, Basketmouth shunned Open Mic after being invited and there may have been exchange of words. Thus, the use of "superiority complex" by AY.

Ordinarily, there shouldn't be any beef between these two successful 'Comedians of the Federal Republic' because they have different comedy styles and even their works and productions are different creatively.

AY is more into what I would call 'reality comedy' highlighting both the positive and negative realities of everyday living in our society. Basketmouth is more of 'philosophical comedy' reflecting human nature: contradictions, frailties, ironies, disharmony, etc drawn from daily living experience.

Again, while AY is an extroverted, boisterous and on-the-go comedian/entrepreneur, Basketmouth is a reserved, calm and deeply creative comedian/entrepreneur. The problem with gifted creatives like Basketmouth, whether successful or not, is that they believe their works are are superior to others. Another example is Brymo.

Akuko mama Ngozi na ndi yardi ya

Money and fame can be quite intoxicating, u see everyone below ur level
Abeg make i just mind my business since I no dey thier category, for now

Basketmouth seems like a toxic person. I know this when he started throwing jabs at Tacha during her time in the BBN house.

AY on the other hand may be called ‘dry’ but he is the most creative comedian there is.

All of you are the same.

I remember how rude you were to a fan who complained about the price of ticket for one of your shows.

Baba leave plenty grammar. You can't force yourself on someone that don't want to be close to you

Where the rudeness here. He is just defending his enterprise. Vip is not meant for all that is why its called vip . No con pour sand sand for another man garri.

There is arrogance among comedians.Basketmouth doesn't talk to many of his colleagues.Including his old friend Julius agwu.

Shut your gutters. Do you know them one on one

Hellonearth:


Shut your gutters. Do you know them one on one

Are they spirits? Now shut your gutters.

Basketmouth is an extremely bad tempered and rude person. Don't ask me how I know

dangoteinlaw:

AY is the richest Nigerian comedian. Quote me anywhere. If AY wakes up with Basketmouth's money, AY will kill himself.

Some people just expect others to come now at their feet and when you don't...


You are battling SUPERIORITY COMPLEX

So does this mean Bovi inherited the enmity as a loyal friend of Bright? Abi Bovi own na inferiority complex?
