Ace comedian Julius Agwu has said that there is more to the feud between his colleagues AY Makun and Bright Okpocha aka Basketmouth, than the N30,000 story being shared with the public.
Recall that AY Makun granted an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, where he stated that he and Basketmouth have not been on talking terms over a certain N30,000 he asked for as his payment when he went to perform on Basketmouth’s behalf sometime back.
In an interview with Naija Info FM, Julius Agwu stated that it seems there’s more to the story than what is being peddled to the public.
Agwu also revealed how he called AY after he learnt that he was planning a show on the same day he usually hosts his comedy show, only for the comedian to hang up on him.
He said, ‘’I don’t think it’s just the N30, 000. Maybe there is more. Na we dey back stage. We nor go fit know. Maybe there is something else that is making them angry and they have both carried in their minds that is causing them quarell”
’Laugh for Christ sake was every Easter Sunday before AY began to do promo saying he was doing one show. I called AY telling him that day is my day, he cut the call on my neck. ‘’
Popular Nigerian comedian and actor Julius Agwu has shared his thoughts on the ongoing rift between his colleagues Ayodeji Makun, known as AY and Bright Okpocha, professionally called Basketmouth.
Basketmouth and AY have been in the news over their lingering feud.
Recall that AY had in a recent interview with the popular media personality Chude Jideonwo, attributed the cause of their 17 years of the rift to a N30,000 business transaction that went sour.
Responding to AY, Basketmouth said: “The thing is this, friendship for me is everything. I don’t mess around with friendship, I don’t mess around with loyalty. He (AY) came to my space and messed around with loyalty.
“To be honest, I don’t want that guy (AY) to ever hear from me.”
Adding that they were never friends.
However, in an interview with Naija FM, Julius Agwu stated that there’s more to Basketmouth and AY’s feud than just the N30,000 payment. Insisting that there may be reasons Basketmouth is upset with AY, which he has not made clear.
He said: “I don’t think it’s just N30,000. Maybe there’s more. Yes, na, we are at backstage we don’t know. There’s more to it that has not been made known.”
“So it depends on them. Maybe Basketmouth is angry about another thing but has not made it clear.”
