“I have heard people say Basket and I have ended our friendship but I can tell you that it is not true. People don’t expect us to always be together when we have responsibilities hanging on our shoulders regularly. People should learn to understand how friendship works and stop spreading false stories about people they don’t even know.”
He added that he has no problem with his friend and would not wait for the media to get into their affairs to address their issues if there are any.
“We are both grown men and we know how to settle our issues if there are any in the first place. I don’t think the social media is the next place to come an air our concerns. We know how to deal with issues between us. I can tell you for a fact that I have smooth relationship with him”, he added.
