Ali Baba who clocked fifty years old last week said there is no reason for him to feel threatened.
"Why should I be threatened by them? how would I be giving them jokes? If I were, I won’t give them my jokes, and I would tell them not to use my jokes. I make jokes and give to some of them. So, there is nothing like being threatened by them" he said in an interview with Punch.
He stated once a comedian feels threatened by younger competition that means it's a sign for him to leave the game.

"The bottom line is that the day you begin to feel threatened by some other up-and-coming comedians, then you are on your way out. You’re supposed to be somebody they look up to, not somebody they compete with."
