Nigerian Comedian, Basketmouth, born Bright Okpocha, has settled a 17-year beef between himself and colleague Comedian, AY Makun.
In April, AY in an interview disclosed that his long-term beef with Basketmouth, whom he tagged along with to events at the outset of his career, began in 2006.
AY, among other things, claimed that he stood in for Basketmouth at an event but didn’t get his N30,000 payment for the job.
In an apology video posted on his official Instagram page on Monday, Basketmouth finally reached out to AY and sought forgiveness.
He said, “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,
“I want you to know that I have forgiven you for whatever you did or said knowingly or unknowingly. I just want us to live in peace and harmony.”
Basketmouth also apologised to other colleagues in the industry, whom he may have offended over time.
“Knowingly or unknowingly, I say this to you right now from the bottom of my heart. I am genuinely sorry. Please forgive me,” he pleaded.
However, to the people who accused him of doing one thing or another that affected their career, he did not deny or accept the allegations “because God knows the truth”.
“Regardless, please forgive me. I beg you from the bottom of my heart,” he added.
