One of Nigeria’s finest comedians, Bright
Okpocha aka Basketmouth has denied
reports
of a rivalry between himself and
fellow comedian Ayo Makun.
Appearently, Baskemouth was reportedly
spotted at the venue of AY’s show, but had
another gig and left without even entering
the hall.
When asked about it, he 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.”
“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.”
Do you think there is any beef between
these two great comedians? Please share
your thoughts.U
