Only thing Bubu did for me was give an award to AY over ‘Uncle 30k’ – Shade Ladipo shades Basketmouth

Media personality, Shade Ladipo has thrown shade at Nigerian comedian cum actor, Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth on her social media page.

Shade Ladipo made the post to congratulate Ayodeji Makun aka AY comedian for the 2023 national honours award conferred on him. AY was given the Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) award.

In the same breath, Shade Ladipo taunted Basketmouth who is known to have a protracted beef with his younger colleague, AY, reportedly over N30,000.

The media personality said the only thing outgoing president, Mohammadu Buhari did for her is choosing to give AY the award over Basketmouth who she called ‘Uncle 30k’.

In her words: “The only thing that Bubu did for me was to award AY over that Uncle 30k. Truly AY has been constantly undervalued.

That other uncle has more pride than Elon Musk meanwhile nothing dey him pocket. I hope the new smallie he’s carrying will finish his money so we can rest.”

Recall Comedian AY Makun finally told his side of the story about his ‘beef’ with colleague, Basketmouth.

He spoke very candidly about the genesis of the long-lasting feud between him and Basketmouth during an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

Recall that AY, during an Instagram question and answer session in 2022, said Basketmouth has an “uncontrollable superiority complex.”

Not stopping there, he noted that he (AY) had to avoid Basketmouth’s “incessant childishness” for his own sanity. AY Comedian replied a fan who asked if he had issues with Basketmouth:

“I don’t have issues with him. But people having unnecessary issues with you is the price you sometimes pay for being progressive. He has been battling with his uncontrollable SUPERIORITY COMPLEX for the longest. So avoiding his incessant childishness only became necessary for my own sanity.”

Well, shedding light on the controversial statement in a recent chat with Chude, AY revealed his issue with Basketmouth started as far back as 2006.

He narrated how he had gone to stand in for Basketmouth at an event that he was supposed to pay him N30,000 for, but Basketmouth lied to him that the event host wasn’t pleased with his job to avoid paying the money.

Read his full narration below: “In 2006, (Basketmouth) usually will get gigs Iike weddings- multiple gigs on a Saturday, maybe 2/3 weddings.

So what he used to do at that point in time was to attend one, then at a point, leave the venue and catch up in the other venue and then you will need someone else to stand in for you. That was the opportunity 1 got from him of which I am very appreciative of till date.

“Now, Something funny happened. One of the gigs per say, I got his endorsement to go stand in. Usually what we get at that time is N30,000 and 30,000 at that time was everything to me.

30,000 would buy me my pack of indomie, recharge cards, fuel for my 1 better pass my neighbor generator and then opportunity to pay just one or two people to join me to do one or two skits that I can just quickly put out.

“I got this job and the people weren’t too happy to see me around the venue because they were expecting a Basketmouth to come. Long story short, the guy was later happy after the performance. There was an exchange of contacts.

Then I left. Two weeks running, I haven’t seen 30k. Because I didn’t see the 30k, and I was starving in lponri, I decided to ask for 30K and he said this person hasn’t remitted, this person hasn’t paid, you they’ re not happy because of this and all of that.

“And then me l was like, ahahn… but this person na, shebi you tell me say you were impressed and happy? Give my oga hin money na, make my oga take settle me and all of that. Me,I dont care if you give Basket 100k for the job but my 30k is my 30k.

“It was very funny to now hear from them knowing that this full payment has been made long before the event.

“I said ‘0-kay, is that the situation?’. So I forwarded this one’s message to this one and vice versa. So they now started fighting each other and all of that. 1 didn’t do that because I wanted to get at Basketmouth per say. I did that because I was hungry, I was hustling and needed food on the table at the time.”
