Popular Nigerian comedian AY Makun has sparked reactions online following a statement he made while celebrating his brother’s 40th birthday.
During the event, AY heaped praises on his brother’s wife for her powerful speech and dedication, saying, “Abeg make una help me clap for wife wey dey house.”
While the gesture was meant to celebrate his brother’s wife, netizens quickly speculated that the comedian’s words were a subtle dig at his estranged wife, Mabel Makun.
Mabel, who left AY’s house months ago, has been in the news after rumors surfaced about her alleged relationship with another man. The couple’s separation has been the subject of much public scrutiny, with fans and critics weighing in on their marital issues.
Social media users flooded the comment sections with mixed opinions. Some defended AY, stating that he was merely appreciating a present and supportive spouse, while others felt it was an intentional shade at Mabel.
Neither AY nor Mabel has addressed the speculations directly, but the comedian’s comment has undoubtedly reignited conversations about their strained relationship.
