Basketmouth revealed that he and AY were never friends, and their working relationship was a one-time deal. He stated, “AY is not my friend. We have never been friends.

I have never visited his house. I have never personally invited him to my house. I never ever called him to hang out. Nothing like that has ever happened.”

Basketmouth further explained that he had chosen to keep quiet about the issue due to certain information he had heard that he was not supposed to know.

He added, “I heard some things that threw me off, and I couldn’t tell him (AY), so I kept quiet.” He also emphasized that the N30,000 debt was not related to any client and was eventually paid to AY by the event organizers.

Basketmouth expressed his disappointment that the issue was being blown out of proportion on social media, especially considering the current events and challenges happening globally, such as the war in Ukraine and the aftermath of elections.
