- Alibaba has revealed he accommodated two popular comedians in his home some years back, before they got into limelight.
- The comedian mentioned Ayo Makun, popularly called AY comedian and Bright Okpocha also known as Basketmouth.
- Alibaba claimed he allowed the duo to live in his boys quarters at the time.
Veteran stand-up comedian, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome who is professionally known as Alibaba, has revealed that popular comics, Basketmouth and AY Comedian used to live with him.
He said he allowed the rival entertainers to stay in his boy’s quarters some years ago, when they were still coming up in the industry.
Alibaba made the disclosure when he featured as a guest on a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast co-hosted by On-Air Personality, Nedu Wazobia.
The ‘King of comedy’ said:
“Basketmouth and AY… When you think about it, these are people who were living in BQ [boys’ quarters] with me back in the days.”
It may be recalled that Basketmouth and AY had a 17-year rival which was recently squashed when the latter apologised. The beef was said to be based on N30k, and at a point a guest list without an invite.
Subsequently, Basket sent an invite to Ayo Makun to attend his comedy show at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
