There’s more to the AY and Basketmouth feud than the supposed N30,000, Julius Agwu has said during a recent interview.
AY Makun claimed during an interview with Chude Jideonwo that the long-standing beef between him and his colleague, Bright Okpocha was sparked off because of an unpaid N30,000 which was meant to be payment for a performance on behalf of Basketmouth.
Though he didn’t state if the money was eventually paid to him but Basketmouth during his interview with Nedu and others on the ‘Honest Bunch’ podcast revealed AY was paid the money ultimately.
Basketmouth also said the assumed cause of their conflict was due to any N30,000 as AY claimed but was triggered by something else which he didn’t clearly state.
He explained AY said something which he (Baskemouth) heard that he oughtn’t while disassociating himself as being one of Makun’s friends.
Discussing the clash between his colleagues with the radio hosts on Naija FM, Agwu suggested the precursor was certainly something else other than the money which AY claimed.
He also opened up on how AY allegedly took over the date of his once popular show, ‘Laugh 4 Christ Sake’ which was celebrated on Easter Day and ‘cut the phone on his neck’ when he called to discuss the matter with him.
Expressing himself in Pidgin English, Julius Agwu said: “I no think say na just the N30,000 o! Maybe there’s more. Na we dey back stage, so, we no go fit know. Maybe, e get another thing wey dey vex dem. We dem carry for mind, carry for mind wey make dem no fit come together.
“You know, when you talk about certain things. Like ‘Laugh for Christ Sake’, you know say I don start am since. It was even celebrated every Easter Sunday.
“Make I talk now. ‘Laugh 4 Christ Sake’ na every Easter Sunday before AY begin do promo, say him dey do one show. I call AY dey talk to am say AY, that day is my date o! AY cut phone for my neck. I am sure, I dey sure.
“I dey do ‘Laugh 4 Christ Sake’ for that date. Na lie?! Every Easter. But e don tey wey I never do ‘Laugh 4 Christ Sake’. I dey tell you say I dey do ‘Laugh 4 Christ Sake’ before him take the date”, he noted, stressing how AY allegedly ‘hijacked’ his show’s date from him.
“So based on Basketmouth and AY dey quarrel say N30,000 naim cause am; it depends. Basketmouth dey vex for another thing, but he no bring am clear. That’s the fact.”
