He said their senior colleagues are aware of his efforts to reconcile with Basketmouth, adding that they told him at some point to stop forcing reconciliation when Basketmouth was proving adamant.
Ayodeji Makun, the famous
Nollywood actor and comedian, who is also known as AY, has talked about his
ongoing beef with Basketmouth.
He said he is done making
efforts towards reconciling with Basketmouth, his longtime industry rival.
Recall that the duo have been
engaged in a 17-year-old beef, which AY claimed was over an unpaid N30,00 debt
owed him by Basketmouth, which the latter denied, stressing that they were
never friends.
In a recent interview with Teju
Babyface, AY, who claimed he has been making efforts over the years to
reconcile with Basketmouth, said he no longer minds going to his grave with
their beef.
He said their senior colleagues
are aware of his efforts to reconcile with Basketmouth, adding that they told
him at some point to stop forcing reconciliation when Basketmouth was proving
adamant.
AY said, “The bros [senior
colleagues in the comedy industry] knew [about my beef with Basketmouth] and at
some point in time, they had to ask me to slow down. They were like: ‘You’re
doing too much. You are putting in too much to make this thing work. Friendship
is not by force.’
“I was believing that ‘No, this
can work’. Even in my last stand-up comedy, I had to go on stage and I did
another routine ‘My guy. How’s my guy? This is my guy. If you see this guy,
tell him he’s my guy.’ And the following morning, everywhere exploded again.
‘We are not friends. We are not that. We are not this.’
“So, for me now, I’m not
pushing anything anymore. As I’m here now as AY, if I have to go to my grave
without sitting with any of these guys to say ‘hello, ‘hi,’ I will be happy.”
