'I was very appreciative of the fact that the Master called' - AY recalls getting a call from Basketmouth amid their feud
Basketmouth and AY
Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun has recalled an incident with Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, where it seemed like they were about to settle their beef and have a good relationship but Basketmouth switched up on him.
Recall that during Basketmouth's recent interview on The HonestBunch podcast, he stated he has never picked up a phone to call AY because they are not friends.
However, in an interview with media personality, Chude Jidonwo, AY said that he remembers receiving a call from Basketmouth.
According to AY, he had purchased a car for his wife at the time and posted it online and days later, Basketmouth made a post to speak against showing off online.
When people assumed Basketmouth was shading AY, he said Basketmouth called him to let him know he was not referring to him in his post and this made him happy that his senior colleague would call him.
AY said: "Something happened that never happened in the history of my knowing Bright Okpocha. Bright Okpocha would not bring himself on the level to apologise to you on anything.
"So, there was a post he made, about people showing off cars, people who just go online and show off stuff when they buy stuff and everything.
“Incidentally, I posted a ride I got my wife two days to that tweet, so people went on his page and were like, ‘Oh, this must be referring to AY’ and for the first time, Bright Okpocha, he carried his phone and called me. If you see how happy I was. Like he called me practically like, ‘guy, see wetin I dey hear o, people are relating what I posted to you, it has nothing to do with you.’
"I was very appreciative of the fact that the Master called, which is very rare, he will never stoop that low.
"So, that the Master called, I was happy. My belief was that, that is now going to form the balance that I’ve been craving for us to have. "
However, AY said when he later tried to maintain that relationship with Basketmouth, he was snubbed.
He said: “So, when I came back to Nigeria, he was having a show, I called him, ‘ah this your show that you’re having, incidentally, it's the same day I'm doing Port Harcourt but we could do like a skit idea and all that'. All the voice note, everything is still in my phone.”
