However, in 2023, AY revealed during an interview with Chude Jideonwo that an unpaid sum of ₦30,000 led to the issue between them.

AY explained that in 2006, Basketmouth would have multiple wedding gigs on Saturdays and would attend one and then leave to catch up at another venue. Basketmouth needed someone to stand in for him, and AY got the opportunity to stand in for one of Basketmouth’s gigs. AY was paid ₦30,000 for the job, but two weeks later, he had not received payment.

How it Started

AY recounted, “Because I didn’t see the 30K and I was starving, I decided to ask for 30K, and he said this person hasn’t remitted, this person hasn’t paid, And then I was like, but this person said he was impressed and happy? Me, I don’t care if you give Basketmouth 100k for the job, but my 30k is my 30k.”

This incident has clearly left a sour taste in AY’s mouth and could be the reason for the feud between the two comedians.
