Recall that the two comedians have been at odds for years and have only now revealed the reason behind their lingering beef.
AY revealed in an interview with Chude Jideonwo that Basketmouth has been fighting with him because of a ₦30,000 gig since 2006. He also said he was denied entry to his wedding years ago.
Basketmouth, on the other hand, stated on the Honest Bunch that he was never friends with AY and felt no obligation to invite him to his wedding.
He also accused AY of chasing clout with their beef and further likened him to a snake that can never change but rather sheds its skin to become a bigger snake.
The feud has since degenerated into a mess with AY’s wife, Mabel Makun, throwing shades at Basketmouth.
Reacting to the messy drama, Uche Maduagwu has advised the duo to settle their differences amicably and away from social media.
He said a lot of people look up to them so they should quit embarrassing themselves online.
He wrote,
“For the sale of your na pikins wey dey look up to you na as role models, Oya AY and Basketmouth, settle your difference amicably and away from social media. Both of you are legends for stand-up comedy, what lessons are you passing to upcoming comedians?
“I wept Bitterly when I saw Oga AY and Oga BasketMouth Matter, this so sad, you guy’s are Legends for African Stand Up Comedy, and to see all what is going on, it so worrisome.
