"First and foremost, the Nigerian entertainment industry is very TOXIC and I say this with no apology to anyone, Basketmouth is angry because AY decide to start his own years back after multiple rejections even from the said basketmouth himself, Julius Agwu who happens to be family friends with AY is furious because AY decided to start his own and was even gaining grounds more than he ever expected. The industry is too big for everyone to get their share of of the cake."
