I’m sorry, forgive me – Basketmouth apologizes to AY over 17-year beef

By Jimmy

Popular comedian, Basketmouth, has apologized to his colleague Ayo AY Makun for a long-standing feud.

Earlier in 2023, AY had revealed in an interview that their beef, which was 17 years in the running, was because of unpaid dues from a show he hosted for Basketmouth.

The financial dispute had been lingering like a bad penny over the relationship between the two comedians, and Basketmouth has finally apologized.

In a recent heartfelt post shared on Basketmouth’s Instagram, he extended a sweeping apology not just to the comedy world at large but also to anyone whose feathers he might have ruffled.

Putting the spotlight on his feud with AY Makun, he earnestly sought forgiveness, acknowledging that his apology might be arriving fashionably late but hoping it would be embraced graciously. Basketmouth also took a moment to extend apologies to those who had accused him of actions that allegedly affected their careers.

His words;

“To all the people in the industry and beyond that I have offended over time, knowingly or unknowingly, I say this from the bottom of my heart, I am genuinely sorry. And to the people who have accused me of doing things that have affected their career, I am not going to accept or deny these allegations, but please forgive me.

“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 that affected you in the past. I just want you to forgive me.”
