Popular Nigerian comedian AY Makun in a new video has reacted to the allegations leveled at him by controversial afrobeat artist Seun Kuti.
In the early hours of yesterday,Seun Kuti made some allegations against AY comedian as he disclosed why he threw a party when the comedian’s house caught fire earlier this year.
According to Seun Kuti, AY made several jokes about him and his daughter, referring to his daughter as a dog.
Seun’s statement: “They said I laughed when AY Makun’s house burned down, but if you follow me often, you’d know that the day his house caught fire, I went live without delay.”
“As they were trying to extinguish the fire, I was live, except for the moment you portrayed my daughter as a dog in your skit video, making jokes about my trials and tribulations.”

Reacting to the allegations, AY stated in a video that he never referred to the daughter of the artist as a dog. He explained that he uses trending issues for most of his jokes and that the video Suen referred to as the skit in which he called his daughter a dog is untrue.
According to AY, he used the Hilda Baci dog-eating issue for a skit when she was called out by a dog lover for cooking and eating dogs as a delicacy.
AY further threw a subtle shade at Seun Kuti, stating that his late father, Fella, used to mock politicians during his days as a way of creating content; hence, his style of comedian is a style he learned from the artists’ father.

ddashnblushmakeovers: You did the skit mimicking him and in the place of his child you used a dog, AY that’s demeaning, you can’t compare a child to a dog. Such an irony to think you were also in the waiting room of God for that long. You crossed the limit, no need to justify or shalaye, you crossed the limit here, you should apologize on that particular part and move on. I’m not a fan of seun. I’m on the part of humanity. ✌️.

femicummins: Your skit is truly in bad taste. He had his daughter in the back sit and you put a Dog in the back sit. There is no way that will sit well will any father that loves his child.
