AY says 30,000 caused the fight between him and Basketmouth

Date:

AY discussed how Basketmouth used to help him connect with events when he was just starting out in the comedy business and how a specific event caused the breakup in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo.

AY said, “In 2006, (Basketmouth) will usually have concerts like weddings: several concerts on a Saturday, maybe 2/3 weddings.

“So what you used to do at the time was attend one, then at one point leave the place and catch up at the other place and then you’ll need someone to take over. That was the opportunity I had.” I got from him for which I am very grateful to this day.

“Now, a funny thing happened. At one of the gigs itself, I got his endorsement to go replace him. Usually what we get at that point is 30k and 30k at the time was all for me. 30,000 would buy me my package from indomie, recharge cards, fuel for my ‘Better Step My Neighbor’ generator and then the chance to pay a person or two to join me in doing a play or two that I can put out quickly.

“I got this job, and people weren’t too happy to see me at the venue because they were expecting a Basketmouth to come. Long story short, the guy was happy after the performance.

“There was an exchange of contacts. Then I left. Two weeks in a row, I have not seen 30k. Since I did not see the 30k, and I was starving in Iponri, I decided to ask for 30K and he said that this person has not remitted, this person has not you have paid, you are not happy about this and all that.

“And then I was like, ahahn… but this person na, shebi, you tell me you were impressed and happy? Give my oga hin money na, have my oga take a deal and all that. Me, I don’t I care if you give Basket 100k for the job, but my 30k is my 30k. It was really fun hearing now from them, knowing that this full payment was made long before the event. I said ‘Okay, is that the situation?’ .

“So I forwarded the message from this one to this one and vice versa. So now they started fighting each other and all that. I didn’t do that because I wanted to get to Basketmouth per se. I did it because I was hungry, I was in a rush and I needed food on the table at that moment”.

In the now-viral video, Basketmouth claimed that AY had ruined their relationship by divulging private information to a third party.

Basketmouth said, “The thing is this, friendship for me is everything. I don’t mess with friendship, I don’t mess with loyalty. He (AY) came to my space and played with loyalty. Although I don’t want to go into details, he said something that I personally shared with him with my lawyer Magnus. And Magnus called me.
