'You have a covenant with pride' - Criticisms as Basketmouth says he, AY were never friends

Popular comedian Bright Okocha better known by his stage name Basketmouth has been making the rounds after a video of him and media personality Nedu went viral on social media.

In an interview on Nedu's "The Honest Bunch Podcast", the comedian revealed that there has never been any form of friendship between him and colleague Ayo Makun better known as AY.

Recall that the two comedians have engaged in a feud for 17 years over a business transaction.

AY had claimed in an interview with Chude Jideonwo that when he went for Basketmouth’s wedding, his wife Mabel Makun's name was on the guest list but his name was not on the list so he and his wife went home.

Reacting, Basketmouth said that AY is not his friend, hence was not invited to his wedding.

Basketmouth added that neither AY nor his wife were invited to his wedding.

After the video went viral, many people voiced their surprise and dissatisfaction at Basketmouth's attitude and sense of pride during his interview with Nedu.

They noted that AY had never introduced Basketmouth as a friend, rather, he had always referred to Basketmouth as a colleague adding that Basketmouth was egotistical and arrogant.
