Ace stand-up comedian, actor and singer, Julius Agwu, has said the feud between two top Nigerian comedians, Ayo Makun better known as AY Makun and Bright Okpocha aka Basketmouth, is beyond the “30k saga”.
AY during a recent interview with lawyer and media personality, Chude Jideonwo, stated that his relationship with Basketmouth went south after he demanded the payment of the N30,000 appearance fee he owed him for performing on his behalf in a show a very long time ago.
Reacting to AY’s allegation in a now-viral podcast, Basketmouth described his colleague’s account of the incident as “lies”.

However, Julius Agwu, in a recent chat with Naija FM, was asked to say a few words about the ongoing feud between his colleagues.
Responding, the comedian said he believes there is more to their rift, insisting his colleagues had not told the whole story.
He said: ‘’I don’t think it’s just the N30,000. Maybe there is more. Na we dey back stage. We nor go fit know. Maybe there is something else that is making them angry and they have both carried in their minds that is causing them quarell”
Julius Agwu also recalled putting a call through to AY, asking him to consider changing the date of his yearly Easter Sunday comedy show because his show takes place on the same day.
According to him, the comic actor bluntly refused and hung the phone on him.
“Laugh for Christ sake was every Easter Sunday before AY began to do promo saying he was doing one show.
“I called AY telling him that day is my day, he cut the call on my neck,‘’ Julius said.
