Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has reacted to rumours of reconciling with his estranged wife, Mabel Makun.
On his Instagram page, the comedian cum filmmaker issued a public statement, denying the rumours. He described such rumours as false, incessant and insensitive. The famous comedian said the publications are deliberately manipulative, calculated to mislead the public and designed solely for traffic and engagement.
Ayo Makun said this was his final warning as he promised to take legal measures against individuals publishing, promoting or circulating those defamatory stories.
“My attention has been drawn to a series of false, incessant, and insensitive social media posts suggesting that I am in a state of regret seeking reconciliation in my past relationship.
These publications are deliberately manipulative, calculated to mislead the public, and designed solely for traffic and engagement.
For clarity, I have never authorised or made any such statements.
If I wish to communicate my personal position on any matter, I have the platform, the reach, and the credibility to do so directly – not through faceless blogs and rumour-driven platforms.
This serves as a final warning: all such false narratives should be disregarded by the public.
Moving forward, the appropriate legal measures will be instituted against individuals, blogs, or platforms that continue to publish, promote, or circulate these defamatory stories.
Enough of the lies”.
Recall that in April, 2023, AY confirmed the end of his almost 20-year relationship with Mabel, expressing regrets for losing his home, and also admitted to doing things that were compromising during the marriage.
Mabel also broke her silence, stating that her dreams of a lifelong marriage had taken a different direction and pleaded with the media and public to give them privacy as they navigate their new phase.
Following his separation from his wife of over decades and mother of his two kids, Blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus alleged that AY had been denied access to his second daughter by his estranged wife, Mabel Makun.
Confirming the report as true, in January, AY shared an emotional video of him reuniting with his daughter for her birthday. The box office King had surprised her with cake and more in her school. In the clip, the toddler who was overjoyed seeing her fan ran to him in a warm embrace and the comedian carried her.
Mabel has since moved on and was recently spotted with her new boo at an event. The interior designer, in a video was seen on a boat cruise with her rumored boyfriend, and elsewhere on the clip, they were seen holding hands.
