IT appears the seeming rift between AY and Basketmouth is far from over, as  Basketmouth, whose original name is Bright Okpocha, has made it clear that he and AY are not friends. 

Basketmouth made the statement when asked about his relationship with AY on 'The Honest Bunch,' a show with OAP Nedu.

He responded by saying, "Just to set the record straight, number one, AY is not my friend. We have never been friends. I've never visited his house. I've never personally invited him to my house. I never ever called him, but one day I said, 'O boy, where you dey make we hang out."

Recall that AY had explained what transpired between them which to led to the rift. During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, AY revealed that an unpaid sum of N30,000 led to the issue between the two veteran comedians. 

The incident was first made known by Basketmouth in 2021, during a Black Box interview with media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, in which Basketmouth noted that he fell out with AY because he messed with loyalty.
