Renowned Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha, better known as Basketmouth, recently reached out to his colleague, AY Makun, extending an invitation to attend his highly anticipated concert scheduled for this Sunday in Lagos. This gesture follows Basketmouth’s public apology to AY, marking the conclusion of their 17-year-long feud.
Despite the reconciliation, Basketmouth clarified that AY won’t be taking the stage or making a cameo appearance during the event at Eko Hotel & Suites tonight. He explained that the program is already scripted, limiting the scope for additional performances.
These revelations emerged during an interview with Arise TV, a segment that began trending on Sunday, shedding light on the dynamics of their renewed relationship and the parameters of their collaboration.
He said, “AY is not on the bill to perform but he has got a ticket. He’s attending. I sent him his ticket a few days ago.
“I knew a lot of people have been asking, ‘Is he [AY] gonna perform?’ He’s not on the bill.
“In actual fact, I don’t have that many comedians on the bill. I know Bovi is introducing me. Senator, Dan The Humorous and Aproko from Abuja are performing. I got a few people from Ghana as well.
“AY can’t even make a cameo because my show is already designed. We are recording for TV so it’s a three-hour set. As we speak the guys directing and producing just came into the country about a few days ago.
“And before they even landed, we had already sealed the whole flow of the show. It’s not the kind of show where anybody would just get on stage. It’s not that kind of show. Everything is timed. Precision to perfection.”
