Comedian AY Reacts To Seun Kuti’s Allegations, Clears Air
Stand-up comedian, AY Makun has reacted to the allegations leveled at him by afrobeat artist, Seun Kuti.
In the early hours of yesterday, 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 the father of one, 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 Kuti 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.
The father of two further threw a subtle shade at Seun, stating that his late father, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, 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.
In his words:
“Amongst every good thing that has happened in my life and career in recent times, this year has also offered me to many as an unfortunate victim of unforeseen serial circumstances. The more I try to avoid the animosity and incessant attacks, the more I see myself as a programmed misery meal made from the recipe of some collective and very intentional chefs.
Before they say to you guys bon appétit’ with a smiling face and victory song, Can you all please bear the hunger for a few more minutes and ask real questions concerning all the ingredients that brought this meal to the table?
I promised I wasn’t going to respond to @bigbirdkuti not until he mentioned me calling his child a dog. He also labeled me as a wife beater, and ONLY God sees and knows where all that came from.
For me, children are completely off-limits. They are our most valuable resource. They are the deposits we make here on earth to carry our names when we are no longer around. Their mothers doubles as our wives and the very best help mates that we all cherish as men.
Having said all that, kindly watch this video, and LET ME KNOW WHEN, WHERE, AND HOW EXACTLY I CALLED @bigbirdkuti. DAUGHTER A DOG…
GOD NO GO SHAME US!”
