Years after the tragic loss of his mother, AY Makun, the popular actor and father of two, recently opened up about the profound impact her final words had on his life. During a heartfelt interview on the Nancy Isime Show, AY shared the story of his last moments with his late mother and the invaluable advice she imparted to him before her passing.
According to AY, his mother's words of wisdom reshaped his lifestyle and had a tremendous influence on his career. He recounted the moment when he approached his mother for financial assistance for school, only to discover that the money was unavailable. Despite their challenging circumstances after losing their father, AY's mother walked him down the street, offering encouragement and stern guidance.
She emphasized the importance of responsibility and looking after his younger brothers. AY took her words to heart and dedicated himself to fulfilling her instructions, even in her absence. Following the passing of their parents, AY, along with his siblings Lanre Makun, a renowned event planner, and Yomi "Casual" Makun, a well-known fashion designer, took on the responsibility of seeing each other through school.
AY vividly remembered his mother's message, saying, "You know Yomi is looking up to you, Lanre is looking up to you. Your younger ones are looking up to you. Don't go and do anything funny, don't be a part of any cult." Her heartfelt words deeply affected him, instilling a determination to live a certain way of life and to work exceptionally hard to achieve success.
Motivated by the responsibility placed upon him, AY persevered through challenging times to complete his education and support his siblings in their academic pursuits. He attributes the foundation of his achievements today to the powerful message his mother left him, which constantly reminds him that his younger ones are relying on him for guidance and inspiration.
The significance of his late mother's words continues to shape AY Makun's life, reminding him of the responsibility he carries and driving him to stand out in his endeavors.
