Prominent stand-up comedian, AY Makun, has responded to the allegations made against him by the controversial afrobeat artist, Seun Kuti.
In the early hours of the day, Seun Kuti made some serious allegations against AY comedian, shedding light on why he threw a party when the comedian's house experienced a fire incident earlier this year.
According to Seun Kuti, AY made several jokes about him and his daughter, referring to his daughter as a dog.
Seun’s statement: “They said I laughed when AY Makun’s house burned down, but if you follow me often, you’d know that the day his house caught fire, I went live without delay.”
“As they were trying to extinguish the fire, I was live, except for the moment you portrayed my daughter as a dog in your skit video, making jokes about my trials and tribulations.”
Reacting to the allegations, AY stated in a video that he never referred to the daughter of the artist as a dog. He explained that he uses trending issues for most of his jokes and that the video Suen referred to as the skit in which he called his daughter a dog is untrue.
According to AY, he used the Hilda Baci dog-eating issue for a skit when she was called out by a dog lover for cooking and eating dogs as a delicacy.
AY further threw a subtle shade at Seun Kuti, stating that his late father, Fella, used to mock politicians during his days as a way of creating content; hence, his style of comedian is a style he learned from the artists’ father.
