Reacting to speculations of silent rivalry between Basketmouth and Ayo Makun; his colleague in the industry, the comedian opened up to Punch SaturdayBeats.
This comes after he was spotted at the lobby of the hotel where AY’s annual
Easter show was held, dressed casually and soon after driving off without even getting into the hall. This further fuelled the speculations amidst the people around, who now believe without a doubt there's ‘beef’ between the comedians.
When recently interviewed by Punch Saturday Beats, Basketmouth said,
“I was not booked to appear at AY’s show. My name was not publicised as part of the people to be at the show. It is not about comedians being united; AY did his show and never mentioned that Basketmouth would perform, so why would people expect me to be there? It doesn’t make sense.”
On why he had to be at the venue if he knew he wasn’t going to enter the hall, he said,
“It was just a coincidence that I was at the venue of the show while it was ongoing. I could not even be a guest at AY’s show because I had another gig on that day I was rushing off to.
“The way we think in this country is very funny. You go to the market to buy a Mercedes and hope to get a Rolls Royce engine, it is not possible. They sold a product and said that some people would perform, so why should people expect that I would be there? There is no beef between AY and I. I am an easy going person and I’m very cordial with everybody,” he said.
Na wah...people and their insinuations!...
Couldn't he just attend it as a show? Must he be invited to perform? He should gerrout
ReplyDeleteMy dear, according to him, “It was just a coincidence that I was at the venue of the show while it was ongoing. I could not even be a guest at AY’s show because I had another gig on that day I was rushing off to..... Let's stop concluding matter for people
DeleteAnd u were blind to read he had another gig? U can be so dumb! He should leave making his money and seat while ay is making his?
DeleteMust he attend? Must everyone be mogbo moya? Thats how people like you go to parties and get insulted!
DeleteDidn't u get the part where he said he had another gig where he wld perform abt same time of AY's show?
DeleteBabe, did u purposely skip the part where he said he had another gig that day?.
DeleteMumu...u people will just read headlines and comment anyhow..didn't u read where he said he couldn't be a guest at d event cos he had another gig somewhere where he's to perform? Cindermumu
DeleteDid u not read what he said abt being engaged the same and was rushing off! Or u wan just rush to be the ist to comment! U too Kamon geraway! Omo-oshi!
DeleteI never liked this guy for once with his wide mouth ugly dude if he was paid to appear would he say he was engaged his jokes are even dry
DeleteNa lie. What other gig? Basket mouth is a big name. Na private gig?? The show would have been publicized too abi? And why show up at the venue in the first place if he had no intention of attending? To scope out the crowd abi? Read between the lines people. Stop being so gullible. Him tok say he be Rolls Royse and AY na Mercedes so he too big for AY. Na yab that na. Childishness!!! Isn't there enuff money to go around plus extra remain? ??
Delete@German Juice common he was created by God n he is someone's husband. This ur insult is uncalled for biko. Nigerian fans too dey like look for trouble where trouble no dey.
DeleteNawa o. Y'all take a chill pill
Delete@ german useless juice, basketmouth doesnt even know u exist, maggot
DeleteBuhahahahahhahahahahahah
DeleteKikikikikikikikiikikikiikikiikikikiki
Eeyyaa... y'all shouldn't kill yourselves because of my comment@bekee and those follow follow anonymous
Hmmm......
ReplyDeleteThe beef is real, on AY and Mabel's anniversary last week, I noticed basketmouth's wife who normally congratulates every one and sundry especially comedians and their wives, totally shunned AY and Mabel's day. Also basket has been featured in all AY live so why is this different? If you know basket, u would know how arrogant he is, his childishness even made him come to the venue of the show for no reason, money no be sense oh, see him calling himself Rolls royce and ay mercedes, God humbles the proud
DeleteI follow you hmmm. Oooo.. Lol
DeleteHian but it's true naa.... Ay is even volks beetle, is Ay funny????
DeleteI would rather stick a fork in my eye, than go to Ay's warefer.
Na dem sabi. All I know is that I watched the skit of the Jega saga done by Ay and it's was dryyyyyyyy.. Infact the only person that made it a bit funny was the guy playing the sign language. AY bored that shit outta me.

ReplyDeletePeople can like to speculate rubbish,Big up to both of them
ReplyDeleteBasket is a big deal in the UK and US as it concerns comedy entertainment.
DeleteAY holds the show in naija.
Y'all gerrit? Both are rocking the show. Big ups to the both of them and kill the beef talks
Just because he didn't perform at the show means they are beefing? World people, they like negativity a lot
ReplyDeleteYou owe no one any xplanation!
ReplyDeleteNigerians can sha insinuate
ReplyDeleteHe reserves the sole right to be where and when.
ReplyDeleteAy's show was the bomb....i guess.
You owe no one any xplanation!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... You go to market to buy a Mercerdes and you expect a Roll Royce engine!
ReplyDeleteWhat a statement when you say there is no beef.
Exactly! !!! Read people read between the lines. Beef dey. If I hear my friend dey marry and I no get intention to be at the wedding why show up at the venue to take pics and leave???
DeleteWell done basket mouth. ....I don't know y fans want all celebs too b friends with each others, wen in reality those fans don't even greet dia neighbours. .... dey come online to preach wat dey don't practice #nansense
ReplyDeleteDis prt crack me up I swear! “The way we think in this country is very funny. You go to the market to buy a Mercedes and hope to get a Rolls Royce engine, it is not possible. .....hahahahahahababba I tire for naija people oooo@basket mouth throwing shades as usual. ...who be Mercedes and who b d rolls Royce ????
ReplyDeleteA beg ask again
DeleteIn Omamumi's Voice; *If you ask meeeeee, na who I go asssssssssssskkkkkk*
DeleteAt least Basket mouth should have entered the hall since he was at the venue to just say hello and leave.He knew AY's show was on,he went to the venue and called it coincidence?I think both of them are not in good terms.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteIs it by force? Whether or not he was engaged elsewhere, he doesn't even owe the freaking media any apology. Ahn ahn! What is it sef? Cos AY had a show, Basket mouth must attend. Mtchweew.
DeleteThe show was da bomb tho. For the first time I enjoyed AY's show. I'm sure he rushed to do that comedy on the elections so someone else doesn't do it before him.
Say hello to who na?
DeleteYou think say na everybody like feferity?
Taa!
In other words he should lick AY's ass? Mtschew!
DeleteIn other words he should lick AY's ass? Mtschew!
DeleteMs Gemini, very true. Dyu want him to attend what he wasn't invited to?? So tomorrow they will call him 'mo gbo mo ya
DeleteTheir problem.
ReplyDeleteNawaa oo
ReplyDeleteNow this explanation feels somehow..n angry....but y wudnt AY invite basketmouth??
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly
DeleteNa by force to invite Basketmouth? Hmmmmmm
DeleteThese are no insinuations, there a beef read between the line. Whatever, that their fucking headache! I'm off
ReplyDeleteWe know these guys have open beef......basket mouth beefs ay becos he's not funny but still very such evil by using others talent and cos he packages shows well. ......while ay beefs basket mouth because he is a natural..a very funny artiste who won't lick his butts like the other comedians do....so if they like they should deny till next year.....there is beef and it's allowed lol.......Stella u must enjoy me
ReplyDeleteExactly !!!
DeleteI couldn't have said it better ..I guess basket mouth thinks that A.y doesn't deserve all the accolades and money he makes hosting show and featuring other comedians while calling it A.Y show . It's annoying tbh..but a.y is first and foremost a business man before a comedian. And he's very smart .. And for that it's allowed .
Basket mouth on the under hand can headline a comedy show all on his own ,his talent is just so special . But the beef could be he's not makin as much as a.y? And can't fathom why a talentless fake comedian is more popular .
Well bright, that's where people's destiny are different . Next time when you so mad at a.y think of linda Ikeji and mama nnuku bag, No be same gossip they been they do?
Abeg..park one side
DeleteHahahaha.. That lib and mama nnuku bag cracked me up big time.. Hmmm.
DeleteHahhahahahahha Lola ur analysis cracked me up...Lolz
DeleteLooooooool@ lola, your analysis got me cracking...chei
DeleteWe know these guys have open beef......basket mouth beefs ay becos he's not funny but still very successful *by using others talent and cos he packages shows well. ......while ay beefs basket mouth because he is a natural..a very funny artiste who won't lick his butts like the other comedians do....so if they like they should deny till next year.....there is beef and it's allowed lol.......Stella u must enjoy me
ReplyDeleteBut even his response shows there is a beef
ReplyDeleteEwu! A chicken nko? Ewu! Ewu! Ewu!
DeleteNot only beef, what about Kpomo?
DeleteI don't understand, basket mouth beefing AY, on what grounds, Basket mouth is a bigger, richer n better brands biko! AY should stop beefing
ReplyDeleteWhatever it may be. Being celebs and colleagues in the same industry does not automatically translate to them being friends. He was not invited to perform that day, why would he then go into the show room? He can be anywhere he wants to, his money, his time.
ReplyDeleteAbegi there's beef,if there's no beef,then attend the show as a guest nah,must u perform.u guys should settle abeg...
ReplyDeleteNo beef yet he makes the mercedes & rolls royce comparison? Yeah there is no beef what you guys have is "kote"
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't invited so why should he go and "chuk" head??? Basket mouth isn't on the same level with AY! Spare him jor!
ReplyDeleteAY is a business man not a comedian...his jokes are so dry. Am so angry that I needed to laugh so I went out and bought 30days in Atlanta with my money but it didn't crack me up. Am so happy Stella's blog helped me out that day..AY your jokes are over rated and very dry...infact why were you shouting warri warri in that movie? The fact is this, the advert of the movie is more interesting than the movie itself.
ReplyDeleteIt was funny but I keep saying if Bovi or even Basket mouth had acted AY's part it would have been funnier...
Delete30 days in Atlanta is funny joor
DeleteYou guys will not learn to laugh
Tomorrow you start sending Chronicles, I am 20 but I look 50
XOXO MYSTERY
I thought I was the only one that didn't enjoy 30 days on Atlanta .The movie is wack.
DeleteMa dear,I Still hvn't gotten over d bad mouth I received from ma bf over dt movie,it wasn't funny at all based on d kinda advert we saw,ma bf kept asking me wats funny in d movie.AY aint funnt at all,he should just stick to d business department of d industry mbok.
DeleteHahaha hahaha hahaha @ xoxo mystery. I am 30 but I look 50.
DeleteShiloh you are wicked oh, lol, why was he shouting warri warri cracked me up.i enjoyed it though.
Delete.
Each to his own,big pond for every fish.
ReplyDelete@shiloh girl,where did U dump Ur sense of humor? U better go look for it o!
ReplyDeleteThat movie is one of the best I've seen in recent time and still freaking crack me up till morrow cos I watch it whenever I'm down and It elevates my spirit .
Speak for yourself, the movie is as dry as wood. The advert sweet pass the movie. Nothing go make me siddon watch the movie again. Ramsey Noah wey win ticket go yanky come over night dey form American accent.
DeleteI spent a couple of hours @Sailor's Lekki, met Basket mouth and some frends hanging out while leaving there all were stil Seated.
ReplyDeleteHe seems rude!
Hian.... so he should stand up for u??
DeleteThis Zeeta got some fish brain_ "uburu azu"_ you mean as basket mouth and pals saw u as u were leaving, they shoulda stood up and waved @ u? As per wetin?
DeleteI wish all these things some of you are saying about AY can stop the movie to be the highest grossing movie in Africa.... then i will understand. i will also understand if it will stop his show from being bigger than the others too. the boy annointing pass all una comments. God don bless am since
ReplyDeleteLies! The easter show was funny! Esp the Jega gig! He might not be so funny like the others but he has good business acumen and always know what and how to pull the crowd! Let us always admit the truth and stop the bad belle! A comedian once said that if you don't or cannot laugh at jokes, it is not his fault, it is because your problem is bigger than his jokes! 30 days in Atlanta was funny abeg!
