Veteran Nigerian comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, popularly known as Alibaba, has revealed that he once accommodated rival comedians Basketmouth and AY Makun.
He said the duo lived in his Boy’s Quarters years ago when they were still scratching the surface of their careers.
The ‘King of Comedy’ disclosed this in the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu.
He said, “Basketmouth and AY… When you think about it, these are people who were living in BQ [boys’ quarters] with me back in the days.”
Basketmouth and AY were engaged in a 17-year-old rift until recently when the former publicly apologized to the latter.
Basketmouth also invited his former rival, AY, to attend his recent comedy show at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
