There has been a long lasting beef between Comedian AY and Comedian Basketmouth and this feud has lasted for years.

AY, well-known Nigerian comedian and actor, has revealed the origin of his longstanding feud with fellow comedian, Basketmouth.

In 2022, AY made comments about Basketmouth’s “uncontrollable superiority complex” and “incessant childishness,” which he further explained in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo.

AY disclosed that his disagreement with Basketmouth began in 2006 when he filled in for Basketmouth at an event and was supposed to be paid N30,000.

However, Basketmouth lied to him, claiming that the event host was dissatisfied with his work to avoid paying him.

“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 say, 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 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 say. I did that because I was hungry, I was hustling and needed food on the table at the time.”

Is basket mouth a Yoruba man
I want to check something

Lol.

Typical behavior of most Nigerians, "GREED"

Nigerians and gutter behavior

Being tribalistic have eaten your brain and now you need brain surgery🤡

otuomasirichi:
Is basket mouth a Yoruba man

Hmmm ... Basketmouth with this type of behavior, everyone will leave you oh. Greed affects business, marriage etc.

Anyway, let's hear Basket's side of the story first.

I once worked for a man for a whole month contract job

He didn't pay me till date, yet he got a lot of money from the deal

To God be the glory.
So amazing to hear him say he was hungry in 2006.
AY is now a multimillionaire and the rest is history.

Until I hear from basket…


Always 3 sides to a story!

That's very wrong of basketmouth if all AY said here is true

I believe AY and don't need to hear from the second party.. If you want to catch a glimpse of Basket Mouth's true personality, you should go check his derogatory remarks against BBN Tacha. I wasn't a Tacha's fan but was appalled by his criticisms. People like that pretend a lot. They appear to have a calm personality but are hiding a lot.

And to all those who are always talking down on AY, y'all should know that he is the most creative stand up comedian. And aside being creative, he also has a very charming personality which is very endearing. This is why he has come this far and will continue to succeed.

Meehn
basket mouth a hustler in 2006 ?
Chaii, baba God pick up the call make e for stew for today's hustlers like us
