Seun Kuti, an Afrobeats artist, mocked comedian AY Makun while responding to a skit acted out by fellow comedian Bovi.
The sketch, which depicts a negotiating scenario with kidnappers and the release of abducted Nigerian celebrities, has received traction on social media.
In the video, Bovi is seen haggling for the release of several celebrities, offering millions of naira for some and amusingly recommending a lower price, N250k, for Seun Kuti.
The abductor was not satisfied with the amount and threatened to kill Seun if Bovi mentioned it again. Bovi kept saying “250, 250” because he wanted the abductors to kill Seun.
During a recent Instagram live session, Seun Kuti praised Bovi as a witty person and contrasted him with AY Makun, whom he sarcastically referred to as not very good at comedy.
The musician was amused by Bovi’s creativity while shading AY Makun.
He said,
“Oh, that Bovi skit, e no go better for Bovi. the guy no well, him be wan even do am for his show, him don tell me, Bovi is a funny guy, not like that other guy that is not funny. His name rhymes with Dakun, nowhere him no dey beg.”
