[News] I am sorry – Basketmouth apologizes to AY Makun and others he might have offended in the entertainment industry

Comedian, Bright Okpocha aka Basketmouth, has apologized to his colleague AY Makun, over the rift between them.

 

Recall that in March 2023, AY granted an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, where he revealed that it was N30,000 that caused his lingering rift with Basketmouth.

 

 

“Now, something funny happened, one of the gigs per se, I got his endorsement to go stand in for him. Usually, what we get that time is N30,000, and that amount of money was everything to me. It would buy me my pack of noodles, recharge card, fuel for my car and generator. I would also avail myself of the opportunity to pay one or two people to do one or two skits that I can quickly put out. So, I got this job but the people were not too happy to see me at the venue because they were expecting Basketmouth.

Long story short, the guy was later happy with my performance and there was an exchange of numbers and I left. This gig came through one of Basketmouth’s guys. Two weeks running, I had not seen N30,000 and I was starving, as a bachelor, I had nothing. So, I decided to ask for N30,000 and he said the person had not paid.”

 

However, in a video shared via his social media accounts on Monday, Basketmouth apologized to AY and others in the entertainment industry for “whatever” he must have done wrong in the past.
