Why AY won’t perform at my show – Basketmouth
After squashing their 17-year-old beef, veteran comedian Bright Okpocha alias Basketmouth opens up on the reason his colleague AY Makun won’t be performing at his Lagos show this Sunday. It would be recalled that prior to this year, the two big names in the comedy industry hadn’t really been on best of terms. Apparently, their issue dates back to an incident that occurred 17 years ago which caused them to quarrel for over a decade, avoiding and refusing to speak with each other.
Basketmouth. Although Basketmouth had publicly apologized to AY and put an end to their longstanding beef, he revealed that he wont be performing at his event that holds tonight. By way of explanation, he said that AY Makun wouldn’t be performing or making a cameo at the event which is set to hold at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos, because the event is scripted.
AY Makun. He made this known while speaking in an interview with the TV channel, Arise TV news. Basketmouth said … “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.”

It was gathered that over 40 artists had been contracted to perform at the event which held in M.K. Abiola Stadium in Abuja. The Zazoo crooner had been noticably absent among the list of performers and this had raised questions, especially since the singer had once campaigned for the APC. Reacting to these questions, Portable reminded inquirers that he had been the one who sang a campaign song for the politician.
