Nollywood actor and comedian, Ayodeji Makun, aka AY, said he
is done making efforts towards reconciling with his longtime industry rival,
Basketmouth.
Recall that the duo have been engaged in a 17-year-old beef,
which AY claimed was over an unpaid N30,00 debt owed him by Basketmouth, which
the latter denied, stressing that they were never friends.
In a recent interview with Teju Babyface, AY, who claimed he
has been making efforts over the years to reconcile with Basketmouth, said he
no longer minds going to his grave with their beef.
He said their senior colleagues are aware of his efforts to
reconcile with Basketmouth, adding that they told him at some point to stop
forcing reconciliation when Basketmouth was proving adamant.
AY said, “The bros [senior colleagues in the comedy
industry] knew [about my beef with Basketmouth] and at some point in time, they
had to ask me to slow down. They were like: ‘You’re doing too much. You are
putting in too much to make this thing work. Friendship is not by force.’
“I was believing that ‘No, this can work’. Even in my last
stand-up comedy, I had to go on stage and I did another routine ‘My guy. How’s
my guy? This is my guy. If you see this guy, tell him he’s my guy.’ And the
following morning, every where exploded again. ‘We are not friends. We are not
that. We are not this.’
“So, for me now, I’m not pushing anything anymore. As I’m
here now as AY, if I have to go to my grave without sitting with any of these
guys to say ‘hello, ‘hi,’ I will be happy.”
