This reconciliation effort comes after a prolonged feud that stemmed from a financial dispute. A.Y had claimed for over a decade that Basketmouth owed him money, dating back to a business deal gone awry in 2006. During a conversation with media personality Chude Jideonwo in March 2023, A.Y recounted how he had vouched for Basketmouth for a gig in the early stages of their careers, only to be left without payment even after the event organizers had sent the funds.

Basketmouth, acknowledging his past mistakes, admitted fault and expressed his sincere desire for forgiveness from A.Y and other colleagues in the entertainment sphere. This move marks a significant step towards resolving their longstanding differences.

The 44 -year -old comedian on Thursday took to social media to share a cryptic post announcing the end of their marriage with Elsie Uzoma.

Basketmouth called for privacy at the moment as he also made it clear that he wouldn’t be revisiting the matter after his announcement.

He said, “As much as it pains me to bring my personal life to the public space, this is an unavoidable situation.

“After much deliberations, my wife and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage.

“As we move forward separately, we will continue to work together to give our beautiful children all the care, love guidance and support they need.

“We humbly ask that you respect our privacy as we navigate through these times. “Thank you.”

The two had been together for 12 years, they got married in 2020 and they welcomed their third child together in July 2021. They have three children together, Janelle, Jason, and Maya Okpocha

‘The devil really fights so hard for the institution of marriage,’ one Twitter user said.

Another Twitter user asked how it would be possible for them to take care of their children now that they are going their separate ways.

AY revealed this in a recent ‘ask me anything’ session which he organised on his Instagram page.

A follower had asked, “@aycomedian do you really have any issues with basket mouth?”

AY responded confirming  that while he wasn’t friends with him, he had no “issues” with him. 

 “I don’t have issues with him. But people having unnecessary issues with you are the price you sometimes pay for being progressive.”

 “He has been battling with his uncontrollable superiority complex for the longest. So avoiding his incessant childishness only became necessary for my own sanity.”

Following his response, another fan commented, “@aycomedian in other words the both of you don’t talk.”

Confirming the fan assumptions, AY replied

“We only talk to those who want to talk to us. Does this make sense?”
