Popular Comedian AY Makun Stirs Reactions After Warning People To Beware Of Friends Who Chase Negative News For Clout

Popular Nigerian comedian, AY Makun has sparked online discussion after posting a message about friendship, loyalty, and those who only appear when there’s negative news to circulate.

In a post on X, AY warned his followers to be careful of anyone who calls them “friend” but rushes to jump on negative stories just to trend or make money.

According to him, not everyone smiling around you wishes you well.

His words: “Beware of anyone who calls you a friend yet rushes to jump on any negative news about you just to trend and gain monetization. Not everyone around you wishes you well. May God protect us from friends who are truly enemies in disguise. Their karma is never far.”

But the tweet didn’t end quietly.

An X user quickly replied, claiming AY himself once ignored him years ago in Surulere. He wrote that they met around 2008 or 2009, AY gave him a card, and when he called, it was a PA who kept answering.

He accused AY of “nepotism” and added: “If Alibaba treat you as you treat others, you for no dey where you dey today. Beware of yourself.”

AY responded almost immediately, dismissing the accusation as false. He insisted he didn’t even have a PA in 2008 because he was still building his career at the time. He also said that anyone familiar with comedy in Nigeria would know his relationship with Alibaba has never been an issue.

Another user joined the thread and summarised the whole drama in one line: “Let me simplify it. Avoid friends and acquaintances like Daddy Freeze.”
