Nollywood actor, comedian, and movie producer, AY Makun has shared a deep note following his public dispute with musician Seun Kuti.
AY stated that regardless of one’s actions, there will always be someone who has something negative to say. Nonetheless, it’s essential not to take it to heart.
He also said that people criticize and judge others’ lives when they are not content with their own. He added that people should remember they don’t need everyone’s approval to find happiness.
The father of two affirmed that life comprises a series of lessons, some of which are easy to learn, while others are more difficult.

“No matter what you do someone will have something negative to say. Try not to take it personally. People judge and criticize other people’s lives when they’re not happy with their own. Just know you don’t need everyone’s approval to be happy”.
“Life is a series of lessons, some of which are learned easily, while others are more challenging. There is potential to learn valuable lessons from every situation life brings your way. It can be hard to focus on what you might learn along the way when you find yourself navigating a difficult situation, but ur can be comforting to remember that there is a lesson in there somewhere”.
In recent days, AY has been embroiled in social media scandals, engaging in a public argument with Seun Kuti and facing criticism for a thoughtless comment about Davido.
The dispute with Seun Kuti originated from his ridicule of Ayo Makun regarding his fire-damaged house. He alleged that the comedian referred to his daughter as a dog in one of his uninspired skits and exploited his challenges for humour.
In a startling revelation about the comedian, Seun also claimed that AY physically abuses his wife and has a well-known issue with bad breath within the industry.
Responding to the accusations, AY mentioned how his attempts to steer clear of hostility and relentless attacks only seem to position him as an easy target for others’ dissatisfaction. With proof, he refuted the string of allegations, particularly the one concerning him calling the singer’s daughter a dog. He also stated that they (entertainers) learnt from Seun Kuti’s father, Fela.
The comedian almost sparked a feud with Davido when a video surfaced from his recent performance at an event in Warri, mocking Davido’s masculinity. He then proceeded to subtly criticize the singer for his notorious infidelity despite being married.
The thoughtless joke provoked angry reactions from Netizens, who criticized the father of two for publicly humiliating his fellow entertainer, leading AY to issue an apology to Davido.
Urging him not to take it to heart, AY expressed that he still considers himself Davido’s biggest fan, and surprisingly, Davido responded to him.
