Comedian Ayodeji Richard Makun, popularly known as AY Makun, has revealed that colleague Bright Okpocha, also known as Basketmouth is not the type that apologises.

Recall both comedians have been having a go at each other over the past few weeks with accusations and counter-accusations of wrongdoing off their longstanding feud.

In an interview with media personality, Chude Jideowo, AY shed more light on the protracted feud with Basketmouth.

He said “Something happened that in the history of my knowing Bright Okpocha, he will not bring himself to the level of apologising to you for anything.

“A while ago, he posted about how people go online to show off cars and other things they just bought.

“Incidentally, I posted a ride I got my wife two days to that tweet, so people went on his page and were like

“This must be referring to AY” and for the first time, while I was in London, Bright called me and was like, “Guy, see wetin I dey hear o, people are relating what I posted to you, it has nothing to do with you.” I was so happy; I mean he practically called me.

“ I appreciated the fact that he called, which is very rare. He will never stoop that low. So when the master called, I was happy. My believed was that call would have formed the balance that I have been craving for us to have”

“So when I came back to Nigeria, he was having his show so I called him that this your show that you are having, incidentally is the same day I am doing Port Harcourt but we could do like a skit idea and all that all the voice notes is still on my phone, he said he would think about it and we would see how we will get back, because the servant was still willing to serve the master.

“Long story short e no reach 2- 3 weeks master just waka pass me for event, so he has programmed himself to see me and by extension it has translated to some other people, if they are on my platform, or his platform, you can’t come this way, if you come this way just kiss it bye-bye except you are extraordinarily talented and he needs you then he can forgo principles and what have you and have that person come onboard.”

Ace Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I, has shared how he handles people’s expectations from him as a celebrity.

The ‘One Naira’ hitmaker disclosed that he trained himself mentally to accept being “broke shamed” so as not to pressure himself into constantly proving that he has a flamboyant life.

Speaking in a recent interview with Chude, M.I explained that many celebrities became broke while living beyond their means just to adjust to people’s expectations.

“When I understood that people in Nigeria tend to broke shame celebrities, I had to make a decision if I want to let that have power over me. Because if you don’t deal with that, it will have exceeding power over you.

“If you are not comfortable with the fact that some fans can broke shame you if they see you driving a car they consider below your level, then you are going to continue adjusting to their expectations. And that is how you go broke. You go broke trying to adjust to people’s expectations.

“One of the things that Nigerians are concerned about is their perceptions. And statistically, we are a country where most people don’t have money. It took me time to mentally prepare myself to accept being broke shamed. All our celebrities who were flying private jets 20 years ago are no longer affluent,” he expressed.

Nigerian singer Yemi Alade has opened up about the challenges she faced during her early years as a young, struggling female artiste.

The Johnny crooner revealed that sexual harassment was the major challenge she confronted, recalling how music executives often harassed her during meetings and studio sessions while she was still a teenager.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Swift Conversations podcast, Alade said, “In those beginning days, all I thought I needed was just my talent because that’s what I have. I didn’t have a bank account full of money I could use to sponsor myself.

“I just had a talent and a zeal, and a promise that I made to myself and a promise I believed God made to me. So, I always tried to show up. I was told that I needed to work harder and so I worked harder, and it wasn’t enough. There were doors I needed to walk up to and when I walked up to the doors, they didn’t want my talent, they wanted something else.

“Many times from business meetings to studio sessions to even winning certain awards and you meet maybe the managing director or any other executive and they are trying to rub your thighs under the table. And I was just a teen. My grand pa is rubbing my legs and I can’t speak because I’m in shock.

“We are having an actual business meeting. Why are you rubbing my thighs? I had to speak to myself and decided if music was what I wanted to do because the sexual harassment was becoming too rampant. But something in me told me to keep pushing my talent. So, I still showed up. If door was left open for me, I would walk in. If it was shut in my face, I would walk away.”

The singer said she became successful in the music industry after she realised that she “needed to stop walking through the doors and start breaking down the walls.”
