Basketmouth Finally Ends 17-Year-Feud With AY, Apologises (Video)

Published

on

Comedian Bright Okpocha, widely known as Basketmouth, has issued a long-awaited apology to his colleague Ayodeji Richard Makun, also known as AY, putting an end to their 17-year-long feud.

This reconciliation comes after years of headlines surrounding their strained relationship.

In a 2021 interview on Black Box with media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Basketmouth revealed that their falling out was rooted in a breach of loyalty.

“To be honest, I don’t want that guy (AY) to ever hear from me,” he said.

He added that they were never friends.

Reacting to the longstanding rift in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo in May 2023, AY attributed the cause of the rift to a business transaction that went sour in 2006.

However, Basketmouth, who is trying to sell tickets for his upcoming show in November, sought forgiveness from AY and other people he offended.

Taking responsibility for the 17 years rift, the comedian, in a video shared on his Instagram page on Monday, tendered a public apology.

He said: “Now to all the people in the industry and beyond that I have offended. I’m saying this to you right now from the bottom of my heart, I’m genuinely sorry please forgive me. To the people that have accused me of doing things that have affected their careers in one way or the other, I’m not going to accept or deny these allegations, but God knows the truth. But regardless, please forgive me from the bottom of my heart.

“Now to my guy AY, I don’t know if my apology is still valid right now but if it is, please forgive me for whatever I have done or said in the past that affected you in any way forgive me. And I want you to know that I have forgiven you for whatever you have done or said knowingly or unknowingly. It’s gone, and I just wanted us to live in peace and harmony.

“Now for the people who are assuming that this apology video is birthed because I have a show coming up on the 26th of November, I will like to say you are absolutely correct. I’m trying to sell tickets for my show but I’m also sorry for everything that I have done.”

Kizz Daniel, Tekno Lock Horns Over ‘Buga’

Published

on

Nigerian music stars Kizz Daniel and Tekno were caught in a public feud after allegations surfaced on social media claiming that Kizz Daniel had been sharing profits from their hit song “Buga” with Tekno.

The controversy stemmed from a post by an undisclosed account alleging statements made by Tekno in an interview regarding his collaboration with Kizz Daniel.

The post, dated April 14, read, “I got on Kizz Daniel’s Buga with no sort of legal agreement. I wasn’t expecting anything from him. Wanted to be silent about this but I think some levels of gratitude deserve to be spoken of.”

“Do y’all know Kizz Daniel sends me 50% of every revenue he generates from that song? After his buga tour he sent me close to a billion naira and I was already shocked enough by that move.

“He didn’t end just there. Every month, I receive millions as my own share of the revenue generated by Buga on streaming platforms… Kizz is a great guy I can’t lie” ~ Tekno Reveals…”

In response to the post on the same day, Tekno swiftly refuted the claims, stating, “Him money no reach. anybody wey put out that fake interview, thunder fire your mama…”

However, nearly two weeks later, on Monday, Kizz Daniel responded to Tekno’s denial with a sarcastic retort, saying, “Dem mention money, you sef dey talk. Spewing shit like an*s. See ekuke way we rescue with BUGA !! Oloribu omo ale.”

Reacting to Kizz Daniel’s remark, Tekno fired back, “Hope you are trending now fool! Careful o, breeze blow, fowl nyash dey open. I’m not the one to be played with before I Kattwilliams yours Ass #insecurenarcissist.”

According to BIZTELLERS, this unfolding drama coincides with an ongoing online feud between music icons Wizkid, whose real name is Ayodeji Balogun, and Davido, also known as David Adedeji, which escalated Monday night.

Wizkid had previously made a subtle jab at Davido. In response to a fan’s inquiry on X for new music, Wizkid shared a leaked video purportedly showing Davido in a vulnerable moment, allegedly pleading with a female associate.

Additionally, the Grammy award-winning artist dismissed Don Jazzy, a highly successful music producer and label owner, labeling him merely as an ‘influencer’.

The public feud between these two music titans has reverberated throughout the Nigerian entertainment sphere and beyond, eliciting reactions from fans and observers alike, who have been quick to comment and pledge support for their preferred artist.
