Comedian Bright Okpocha popularly known as Basketmouth bumped into Africa's richest man and president of Dangote group -Aliko Dangote at Lennox shopping and below is what he had to say after he meet.

Sean Tizzle has said he is not sure if Basket Mouth contacted his management team like he said he did and they asked him to pay a fee, he says if at all he did and they asked him for an amount, the comedian should have contacted him, because he sees him like an uncle in the industry and he respects him. Below is what Sean Tizzle said about the matter to Saturday Beats; “It is cool that everything is out there. If Basketmouth has any issue with me, I would have expected that he would call me and speak with me. I see Basketmouth as an uncle. If he called anybody from my management team, there should be verification and if he did not like what they told him, he could have called me to inform me. “Nobody contacted us to tell us that they wanted us to be at his show. Even if somebody contacted us, I would have thought that it should be directed towards me personally instead of going through my management team. If it happened, I would have expected that it would be resolved immediately without the news getting out to the public. It is something we could have resolved amicably. We were not contacted to perform at his show.”

He also emphasized that when the news broke his manager contacted Basket Mouth immediately. “Let’s be logical, if Basketmouth with what he has done for me should contact me for a show, I cannot give him a ridiculous price. I did not know anything and I learnt about it when the news broke. I was so shocked when I heard the news. It is true that he has supported my career and I really appreciate him for supporting my brand. We tried to reach out to him when the news broke but we could not get a hold of any of his management team. Rico, my manager, sent Basketmouth a Whatsapp message immediately the news broke. They talked about it and we are in good terms with Basketmouth because we have spoken about it and cleared it all out. We have a good relationship with him and we have sorted everything out,” he said.

Sean Tizzle has responded after comedian Basketmouth said he doesn’t like him.The ace comedian called Sean Tizzle out out on HipTV for charging a ridiculous amount of money when he invited him for his show in December 2014. Basketmouth was quoted to have said on HipTV that: ‘I called on Sean Tizzle and he was charging me a certain amount of money, I didn’t know if it was him or his management that charged me, but I don’t care, I had to tell my team to blacklist his name on any of my shows’. I called on Olamide who’s even a more buzzing act, and he said I can pay him anything I feel like, and he didn’t even ask of his money until way after the show before I paid him’.

During his show BM Uncensored in Houston, Texas, BasketMouth didn't hold back as he aired his thoughts about the high level of corruption in the last administration.
"And the funny thing is Buhari is now in power and everyone is hating on the guy under two months. I said some sh&t that made the news. Me, I don't care. I am not normally into politics but when I see some sh*t I say it. Goodluck was there for six years, all they did was steal money. Yeah I will say it..." said Basketmouth. "I was reading the news and one country in Asia, I can't remember right now I don't have my facts, but they are the one hosting the Olympics. The stadium is costing them 1 billion and they are all freaking out, 1 billion dollars. I am looking at this people, 1 billion dollars, when one woman stole 20 billion dollars. Which means that lady can actually build twenty stadium (sic)...and everyone just kept quiet. I pray they...you just can't come and rob me people just like that. Nigeria is a rich country but see us..." he further said.
