Famous Nigerian comedian and actor AY has spoken candidly about the genesis of his feud with a colleague, Basketmouth.

During an Instagram question and answer session in 2022, AY said Basketmouth has an “uncontrollable superiority complex.”

“I said to him, ‘You see God has blessed us. You have a house in Lekki, I have a house. You have a child, I have a child. This thing that happened in 2006, guy drop am.’

“And my dear colleague looked at me and said: ‘I’m a beast, I don’t forgive.’” – Ayo ‘AY’ Makun.#WithChude pic.twitter.com/Tg6wGyNXa4

Not stopping there, he noted that he (AY) had to avoid Basketmouth’s “incessant childishness” for his sanity.
“I don’t have issues with him. But people having unnecessary issues with you is the price you sometimes pay for being progressive. He has been battling with his uncontrollable SUPERIORITY COMPLEX for the longest. So avoiding his incessant childishness only became necessary for my sanity.” AY replied to a fan who asked if he had issues with Basketmouth.

Shedding light on the controversial statement in a recent chat with media personality Chude Jideonwo, AY revealed his issue with Basketmouth started in 2006.

He narrated how he had gone to stand in for Basketmouth at an event, for he was supposed to pay him N30,000, but Basketmouth lied to him that the event host wasn’t pleased with his job to avoid paying the money.
