Nigerian comedian AY Comedian and his estranged wife, Mabel, are embroiled in a heated custody battle over their second child.
Following their separation after 20 years of marriage, Mabel has denied AY access to their child, prompting a contentious dispute. Allegations surfaced that AY violated an agreement by secretly contacting their daughter through her nanny’s phone, leading Mabel to dismiss the nanny and destroy the phone.
The custody battle has sparked widespread debate, with social media users condemning the use of children as pawns in marital disputes and urging resolution through family court.
Some have even questioned the child’s paternity, further fueling the controversy surrounding the high-profile separation.
