According to him, the meeting opened the doors to mainstream success. He shared:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cUp until then, I had been a UNILAG campus comedian with no idea of how to take my act mainstream. Kayode somehow met Basorge on the set of a production somewhere and, like play, like play, we both piled into the bus headed in the Bariga direction that day to meet up with him. Remember, there were no cell phones back then, so the Grandmaster didn\u2019t know we were coming. But as luck would have it, we met him at home, and KP proceeded to convince him that I was the funniest thing since Basorge!
