Popular comedian, Bright Okpocha, aka Basketmouth, has taken a conciliatory step by inviting his colleague, AY Makun, to attend his upcoming concert in Lagos. This follows Basketmouth’s public apology to AY, marking the end of their 17-year-old feud.
Despite the invitation, Basketmouth clarified that AY won’t be performing or making a cameo on stage due to the already finalized order of activities.
In an interview with Arise TV, Basketmouth explained,
“AY is not on the bill to perform, but he has got a ticket. He’s attending. I sent him his ticket a few days ago.
“I knew a lot of people have been asking, ‘Is he [AY] gonna perform?’ He’s not on the bill.
“In actual fact, I don’t have that many comedians on the bill. I know Bovi is introducing me. Senator, Dan The Humorous and Aproko from Abuja are performing. I got a few people from Ghana as well.
“AY can’t even make a cameo because my show is already designed. We are recording for TV so it’s a three-hour set. As we speak the guys directing and producing they just came into the country about a few days ago.
“And before they even landed, we had already sealed the whole flow of the show. It’s not the kind of show where anybody would just get on stage. It’s not that kind of show. Everything is timed. Precision to perfection.”
