Earlier Comedian Basketmouth had written a short story on how he met Tony Tetuila,in the course of his young career 1998, now here is the part two of his story on the road to stardom
Me and Six Foot Plus: Read below....
Fame pre-award concert in the year 2000 had Dele Olukoju and Wale Oluwaleimu as stage/project managers. I had met Wale before then and he had suggested I come perform in the bid to expanding my brand name.
I went there with a friend of mine,we had spent the last kobo on us transporting ourselves and getting food to eat as the event didn't start early enough.
My performance was done @ about midnight. As it was time for me to leave,I met with the show organisers hoping I'd be paid for my service. Unfortunately, communication had gone wrong somehow as they thought I was doing the performance for free.
It dawned on me immediately that I was in trouble
My friend and I then decided to just hang around as the concert was still on and hopefully we might get a free ride.
It was 2am,the concert still banging out and me feeling totally exhausted. While moving around I met Six Foot Plus and Terry D Rapman...now, I was a big fan of their work and so we got talking. They loved my performance so it was a mutual relationship immediately.
I swallowed my ego and pride and brought myself to ask Six Foot Plus for money to transport with, he didn't have much on him but gave me N60 which was more than enough to cover our bus fare.
We walked out from the concert area and as we approached the main road,as God will have it,there was a bus going our way. Lagos wasn't by any chance threatened by kidnappers or the famous one-chance so we had nothing to fear. We got into the bus and in 30min we were in Yaba,which wasn't far from my house (Railway Compound-Ebute Meta) we walked home and by 4am I was in bed, happy at my chance to perform,
Exhausted by my ordeal and grateful for my new friend and saving grace, Six foot Plus
