Popular comedian and Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Ondo State on Tourism, Oluwaseyitan Aletile, best known as Seyi Law, has claimed that he does not see himself with any competition with his colleagues in the comedy industry.

Speaking on Hip TV programme "Trending," Seyi Law stated that people like AY, Basketmouth, Alibaba, and Julius Agwu can never be a competition to him, as they have previously rendered help to him.

He argued that due to his ethnic background as a Yoruba person, he cannot compete or go against those who have previously helped him. He noted that there was previously no competition in the comedy industry, and everyone was just concerned with performing his craft without comparison.

He said:
“At some point in the comedy industry, there was no rift and there wasn’t any reason to start categorising the comedians,”

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.”
