Basket mouth Says Ay Is Not His Friend
Recall that Nigerian comedian, Ay, had explained his version of what happened that led to his 17-year-old feud with Basketmouth.
During ‘The Honest Bunch Podcast with OAP Nedu’, the comedian talked about his relationship with Ay and claimed that the things Ay said were not true.
He said, “’90 per cent of the things wey he talk na lie’, I still dey in shock.” He also said, “Just to set the record straight, AY is not my friend; we have never been friends; I’ve never visited his house, and I’ve never personally invited him to my house. I’ve never called him one day and said, ‘O boy, where you dey, make we hang out? And it’s easy to tell because if you look on social media, you will never find a picture of me and AY.”
