Popular comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, better known as Seyi Law, has declared that he sees no competition in the comedy industry.
According to him, comedy icons like Alibaba, Julius Agwu, Basketmouth and AY are his benefactors and have no reason to compete with him.
On a recent episode of the Hip TV show “Trending,” Seyi Law clarified that, being of Yoruba descent, he feels he cannot compete against those who have previously backed him.
He shared that his concern isn’t about comedian rankings.
“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.”
