Popular comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, also known as Seyi Law, has stated that he is in no competition with anyone in the comedy industry.
He said that legends like Alibaba, Julius Agwu, Basketmouth, and AY are not rivals but benefactors who have played pivotal roles in his career.
According to Seyi Law, these comedy icons have supported him, and as a Yoruba man, he believes it’s against his values to compete with those who have helped him along the way.
During a recent episode of Hip TV’s “Trending,” the comedian also emphasised that he is unconcerned about any rankings in the comedy world.
“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.”
