Nigerian comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY Comedian, has expressed shock over his unexpected move from being scandal-free to courting controversies.
He said he finds it hard to believe that that he’s been embroiled in scandals since he granted an interview where the host pointed out that he was scandal-free at the time.
Speaking during a recent chat with actress, Iyabo Ojo on the Gold Room podcast, the 52-year-old standup comedian said it all happened like a fluke.
AY said: “The more you look at me, the more you want to think it might be some sort of fluke and the more I get hated as well.”
Iyabo Ojo responded: “I don’t think it’s the hate, I think people love you. You know the way it is with Nigerians they just have the way they expect their idols to be.”
In response, the comic act said: “I’ve been that kind of person since until somebody now interviewed me one day and said ‘Hello AY you are one of the few celebrities without scandal’ as soon as I heard the word, I just woke up one day, from without scandal to scandal.”
