Popular comedian, AY (Ayo Makun) has finally bared his mind on Seun Kuti.
He said; “Hello Seun, this is to address the sensationalism that’s been created around social media space. I decided to respond to this because you mentioned your child.”
“I love children. So, the minute you referred to the skit I did addressing your baby as a dog, I just felt the need to address this. I’m one human being who looked for a child for 13 years. I don’t think I will find myself in the position to mock a child and refer to that child as a dog.”
“Concerning the skit I made something in June, I want to categorically say that I’m a stand-up comedian. As stand-up comedians, we run social comments on different activities on trending issues. But I’ve come to understand that in Nigeria now people take comedians seriously and take the politicians as the jokers.”
“If you’re familiar with my brand and style of comedy, AY Live, everything that you see I do, I do a lot of stage dramas and then we just talk about trending issues. Now, the skit was a reflection of trending issues.”
“I talked about fuel subsidy which was trending at that time. And if recall, at that time Hilda Baci and Enioluwa were both trending for eating dog meat.”
“And a woman called them out. And then I mentioned the name Hilda in the scene where the dog was sitting in the back seat of the car in the skit. That was what I was portraying in that video.”
“If anyone is supposed to be offended by the video, it is Hilda Baci but she understood that it was a joke.”
“Seun Kuti has also shaded me in the past, including lambasting me for accepting a national award from the presidency.”
