Ayo Makun, a comedian and filmmaker better known by his stage name AY, has declared he will no longer try to resolve their ongoing dispute with Basketmouth, a fellow employee.
Recall that the two have been at odds for 17 years over a debt that AY claimed Basketmouth owed him for in the amount of N30,000.
However, Basketmouth vehemently disputed it, stating that they had never been close.
According to AY, who has allegedly been trying for years to patch things up with Basketmouth, he recently told Teju Babyface that he doesn’t mind going to his grave with their disagreement.

Asked if senior colleagues were aware of their beef, the thespian confirmed their awareness, adding that they told him at some point to stop forcing reconciliation when Basketmouth was proving difficult.
He said, “The bros, (senior colleagues in the comedy industry) knew, and at some point in time, they had to ask me to slow down. “They were like: ‘You’re doing too much. You are putting in too much to make this thing work. Friendship is not by force.’
“I was believing that ‘No, this can work’. Even in my last stand-up comedy, I had to go on stage and I did another routine ‘My guy. How’s my guy? This is my guy. If you see this guy, tell him he’s my guy.’ And the following morning, every where exploded again. ‘We are not friends. We are not that. We are not this.’
“So, for me now, I’m not pushing anything anymore. As I’m here now as AY, if I have to go to my grave without sitting with any of these guys to say ‘hello, ‘hi,’ I will be happy”.
