I’m deeply sorry – Basketmouth finally apologises to AY, others (Video)
Comedian Bright Okpocha, widely known as Basketmouth, has extended a long-awaited apology to his colleague Ayodeji Richard Makun, also known as AY, ending their 17-year-long feud.
The conflict between AY and Basketmouth has been a subject of public discussion for some time. In 2021, during a Black Box interview with media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Basketmouth cited the breach of loyalty as the reason for their fallout. He even expressed a reluctance to reconnect with AY.
In response, AY, during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo in May 2023, attributed the rift to a business transaction gone sour in 2006.
Now, as Basketmouth prepares for his upcoming show in November and aims to sell tickets, he has taken responsibility for the 17-year-long feud and issued a public apology. In a video posted on his Instagram page, he expressed his deep regret and asked for forgiveness from those he may have offended, both in the entertainment industry and beyond.
He stated, “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.”
Basketmouth specifically addressed AY, expressing his desire for reconciliation: “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 want us to live in peace and harmony.”
He also acknowledged the timing of the apology, stating, “Now for the people who are assuming that this apology video is because I have a show coming up on the 26th of November, I would 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.”

‘I relocated from UK to take part in BBNaija’ – Ben
Newly evicted Big Brother Naija ‘No Loose Guard’ housemate, Benjamin Olufemi, known as Ben has revealed why he relocated from the United Kingdom, UK to join the show.
DAILY POST reports that Ben was evicted from the season 9 edition of the show on Sunday.
Speaking in an interview with some journalists on Wednesday, the nightlife promoter stated that he aimed to utilize the platform to promote his business.
“First and foremost, I’m not doing a 9 to 5 job. Tjay reached out to me and said let us pair together. So if I was doing a 9 to 5 or under a student’s visa, I would not have come.
“But I’m a permanent resident in the UK, so nightlife is on the weekend. I came for Big Brother to push my nightlife 100%. To sell myself. I tell people that I organise parties, and people would come to my parties.
“People now even use the tagline number, Action Ben, no party. But the most difficult part for me was I had to pay all my bills before coming.”

BBNaija S9: Wanni apologises to Onyeka after messy fight
Big Brother Naija contestant Wanni has issued an apology to her fellow housemate, Onyeka, following a heated argument between them.
The conflict arose after Onyeka accused Wanni of gossiping about her behind her back. In response, Wanni angrily called Onyeka a “childish b*tch” and insisted that she had only spoken about her in her presence.
Wanni’s twin sister, Handi, criticized her for escalating the situation and using offensive language. Taking her sister’s advice to heart, Wanni decided to apologize to Onyeka, specifically for the derogatory term she used.
Wanni explained that she struggles with her emotions, especially when hurt by those she considers friends. She admitted that her outburst was a result of her frustration and acknowledged that her response was inappropriate.
“I got very angry, which is why I used that word,” Wanni said. “Because I consider us friends, I get very emotional when I feel hurt by my friends. I shouldn’t have reacted that way. You had every right to be upset, and I should have addressed the issue more calmly. I’m sorry for using that term and for how I spoke to you. I’m working on controlling my emotions, and I promise to do better. I don’t gossip behind people’s backs; if I have something to say, I will say it to their face.”
Onyeka accepted Wanni’s apology after hearing her out.
