Actor and Producer, Ayodeji Makun, popularly known as AY, has come under a lot of fire over his comment lamenting the lack of support for men in Nollywood.
The comedian and actor, had on Monday, expressed his frustrations over what he considered to be the lack of support for men in the movie industry, as opposed to the level of support their female counterparts get.
He stated, “Must we have breast and yansh to have the support of our fellow men?”
AY made this comment in a bid to promote his recent movie, ‘The Waiter‘, but it seems to have rubbed off on the people the wrong way.
This has led him to get slammed by netizens who claim he is trying to play the pity card in a bid to promote his movies.
Others have accused him of reducing the hard work of the women in the movie industry to just “breast and nyash.”
An X user, @Winifred, stated, “This tweet reeks of desperation and ignorance, you can promote your movie without Playing the pity card and trying to downplay other people’s efforts, ewwwww.
Btw, you can go for BBL just like Bob and maybe then, we will watch your movies.”
Another tweep, @UchayOkolee wrote, “Reducing the likes of Funke Akindele’s success to having “breast and nyash” lmao!! So Funke and Co have the support of your fellow men because of breast and nyash??? Uncle, the world has already gone mad. Men are now changing their genitals to a woman’s own. You can do yours.”
According to @Osumare Ayomi, “Femi Adebayo doesn’t have breasts, though.
And I’ve not seen Kunle Afolayan’s breasts. Or Niyi Akinmolayan’s breasts. Or Kayode Kasum’s breasts.
Maybe the problem has not been properly diagnosed.”
