Nigerian comedian and actor, Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, has publicly apologized to his colleague, AY Makun.
There had been rumors of a strained relationship between the comedians.
The speculation brought attention during an interview session with media personality, Chude Jideonwo in May 2023, where AY identified the cause of the squabble as a business transaction that went bad.
However, Basketmouth sought forgiveness from AY and others he also offended.
In accepting responsibility for the 17 years rift, the comic star, in a video shared on his Instagram handle on Monday, offered a public apology.
“Now to all the people in the industry and beyond that I have offended.
I’m saying this to you right now from the bottom of my heart, I’m genuinely sorry please forgive me. To the people that have accused me of doing things that have affected their careers in one way or the other, I’m not going to accept or deny these allegations, but God knows the truth. But regardless, please forgive me from the bottom of my heart.
“Now 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 forgive me. And I want you to know that I have forgiven you for whatever you have done or said knowingly or unknowingly. It’s gone, and I just wanted us to live in peace and harmony.
“Now for the people who are assuming that this apology video is birthed because I have a show coming up on the 26th of November, I will like to say you are absolutely correct. I’m trying to sell tickets for my show but I’m also sorry for everything that I have done.” The apology said.
