L-R: Basketmouth, Ladipo, AY
Shade Ladipo, a media personality, has mocked comedian-cum-actor, Bright Okpocha aka Basketmouth, referring to him as ‘Uncle 30k’.
Ladipo via her insta story, shaded Basketmouth in a congratulatory post made to his colleague, Ayo Makun aka AY for the special honour awarded to him by former president, Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari authorised the presentation of 340 Nigerians and foreign guests with special national honours for 2023 in a number of categories as a parting gift.
The Special National Award 2023 comprises, among others, judges of the Supreme and Appeal Courts, traditional leaders, politicians, departing ministers, legal practitioners, bankers, entertainers, and sportsmen, among others.
Hailing Buhari, Ladipo noted the only thing he did for her was award ‘constantly undervalued’ AY over Basketmouth who she called ‘Uncle 30k’ (referring to the N30,000 reportedly responsible for the long-standing feud between AY and Basketmouth).
“The only thing that Bubu did for me was to award AY over that Uncle 30k. Truly AY has been constantly undervalued.
“That other uncle has more pride than Elon Musk meanwhile nothing dey him pocket. I hope the new smallie he’s carrying will finish his money so we can rest,” she wrote. (Via The Nation)
