Comedian and politician, Seyi Law, has spoken about the relationship between him and fellow humour merchants such as Ali Baba and Basketmouth.
Competition and rifts have crept into the industry but he says he has no issue with any of them.
According to him, the relationship has been mutually beneficial, adding that his primary concern is to see the sector blossom.
In an interview on Hip TV’s “Trending,” Seyi Law notes: “At some point in the comedy industry, there was no rift and there wasn’t any reason to start categorising the comedians,” he said.
“I have played with everybody and I still respect everybody. We respect the likes of Alibaba. At some point, I had to go on a comedy tour with Julius Agwu who didn’t discriminate against me. I’ve covered events for Basketmouth. He has paid me for shows. I’ve also worked with AY.
“And as a Yoruba person, we don’t disrespect anybody who has given us food. So, they are all highly respected. I respect them a lot. And no matter the differences they have, they’re still my senior colleagues in the business. And they have not had reasons to compete with me. So anywhere you place me on the ranking is okay by me. I don’t want to be one of those people who is dragging ranking with anybody in the industry. As long as we are all doing fine, kudos. The most important thing is that we must not allow the industry to suffer.”
