Nigerian comedian, actor, and filmmaker Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has penned an appreciation post to music star Davido and famous boxer Anthony Joshua.
Taking to his Instagram page to share photos of them from his recently held Easter Sunday event in Lagos, he appreciated Anthony Joshua and the Canadian Deputy High Commissioner for their incredible reviews. He made it known that their words truly meant the world to him.
He also appreciated Davido, admitting that the singer’s support fuels their passion for bringing the best comedy vibes to the public.
“What a phenomenal Easter Sunday at AY Live!
Huge thank you to @anthonyjoshua and the Canadian Deputy High Commissioner for their incredible reviews — your words truly mean the world to us!
@davido, your support fuels our passion to bring the best comedy vibes to you and others.
And don’t miss the last slide — it’s guaranteed to make you laugh out loud!”.
Hours ago, AY expressed pride at his daughters’ showing him support at his UK event. He stated that there is nothing quite like the joy of having his daughters come around to cheer him on, as their love and support are the real secrets behind his confidence and his best performance yet. He added that knowing they are proud of him fuels his soul and reminds him why he does what he does.
Back in January, Ayo was left overwhelmed as his Cinema movie, The Waiter, grossed N200 million at the box office. The filmmaker stated that the journey was nothing short of amazing and he couldn’t have achieved this without the support of his audience. The comedian expressed gratitude to all who have seen the film, shared their thoughts, and spread the word as he noted how their support had made a huge difference and had truly helped to elevate their story.
While promoting his Cinema movie, AY cried out over the lack of support from his colleagues. Makun lamented how men only support entities who have breasts and bottoms, despite the other gender working hard to stay relevant and uphold their responsibilities. He bragged about being the only man left in filmmaking who has not given up and vows to continue pushing his movie personally.
His post was, however, misinterpreted to be a dig at his female colleagues who were breaking records at the box office.
Setting the record straight in another post, AY made it clear that his post had nothing to do with them as they have all supported and encouraged him. He stated that his post was aimed at men who are fond of supporting women over their gender. Ayo noted how men support each other; they cultivate a brotherhood that uplifts everyone, allowing them to grow emotionally and mentally.
