Nigerian Comedian Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has defended music icon, Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2Baba following his public apology to his lover, Natasha Osawaru.
Naijaonpoint reports that the legendary artiste sparked reactions after saying men are not wired to be sexually committed to just one woman.
After the backlash, he released an emotional video apologizing to his new wife, Natasha Osawaru, his kids and fans.
Responding to the backlash, AY shared a message on social media, urging people to look beyond judgment and consider the human side of men in the spotlight.
He described 2Baba as a man under pressure who took responsibility not because he is perfect, but because he is human.
AY also pointed out that men are raised to bottle up their emotions, and when they finally speak out, they are often misunderstood, dismissed, or blamed.
He said:
“It’s always easy to cast the first stone at the supposed offender. No one pauses to ask him the most human question “Are you okay?” And when they do, it’s rarely without an agenda. No one really cares.
“I just saw a man under duress taking accountability for his actions. Not because he’s perfect, but because he’s human. As men, we’re raised to suffer in silence. Whether we’re right or wrong, we’re told to “man up.” Even when we finally speak, it rarely ends well. We’re blamed. Misunderstood. Dismissed.
“Our vulnerability doesn’t protect us. it exposes us. Na who them catch na him be thief”.
