However Basketmouth seeks to paint this- for the sake of professional relationship, he’s got to stick to one side- you either are a friend of your colleague or you are his competition.
The comedian was reported to have taken an early leave at the AY show- in fact, he didn’t even get into the hall.
In his defense he said, he had another show.
So did he mistakenly miss his way?
When contacted by SaturdayBeats, he said something totally different as opposed to his next response. He said, “I was not booked to appear at AY’s show. My name was not publicised as part of the people to be at the show. It is not about comedians being united; AY did his show and never mentioned that Basketmouth would perform, so why would people expect me to be there? It doesn’t make sense.”
When asked why he made an attempt in the first place, if he missed his way and later came to the realization, he said, “It was just a coincidence that I was at the venue of the show while it was ongoing.
I could not even be a guest at AY’s show because I had another gig on that day I was rushing off to. The way we think in this country is very funny. You go to the market to buy a Mercedes and hope to get a Rolls Royce engine, it is not possible. They sold a product and said that some people would perform, so why should people expect that I would be there? There is no beef between AY and I. I am an easy going person and I’m very cordial with everybody,”
