Legendary Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha also known as Basketmouth, has shown readiness to bury the hatchet with people he has offended, including colleague, AY Makun.
Gatekeepers News reports that in a video his Instagram account on Monday, Basketmouth apologised to people he offended in one way or the other over the years.
He then specifically apologised to AY Makun, asking to be forgiven. Basketmouth also noted that he has also forgiven AY for his transgressions towards him.
He said, “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 please forgive me. And I want you to know that I have forgiven you for whatever you did or said knowingly or unknowingly, it’s gone and I just want us to live in peace and harmony.”
Basketmouth went further to issue an apology to people whom he might have wronged over the years.
However, Basketmouth noted that he does not accept or deny any allegation.
“Now to all the people in the industry and beyond that I 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 and to the people who would have accused me of doing things that affected their career in one way or the other I’m not going to accept or deny these allegations God knows the truth but regardless please forgive me I beg you from the bottom of my heart.” he added
This comes after the two have had a feud spanning over a decade and according to AY, it started as a result of ₦30,000. On the other hand, Basketmouth stated that AY messed with his loyalty and he could not stand for that.
However, in a recent interview, AY stressed that he would be fine going to his grave without ever reconciling with Basketmouth because he was done trying to bury the hatchet with him to no avail. He is yet to respond to Basketmouth’s video.
