[p]Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, has chosen to remain silent on the matter of his feud with fellow comedian, AY Makun. AY had previously claimed that their 17-year rivalry began over a debt of N30,000. In an interview, AY stated that at the beginning of his career, Basketmouth frequently contacted him to perform at events.
