I Can’t Compete With Basketmouth, AY, Alibaba, Others – Seyi Law

Popular comedian, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, also known as Seyi Law, has said that he has no competition in the comedy industry.

He stated that icons in the industry such as Alibaba, Julius Agwu, Basketmouth and AY are his benefactors, adding that he has no reason to compete with them.

Seyi Law said this in a recent episode of the Hip TV programme “Trending.”

He explained that, as a Yoruba person, he cannot compete with individuals who have supported him in the past.

Seyi Law insisted that he doesn’t care about the ranking of comedians.

“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.”
