Nigerian comedian AY Makun has responded subtly to backlash over claims that he was absent from the burial of his estranged wife Mabel’s mother, Mrs. Rose Temietan Eyesan Nwanegbu. The ceremony, held in Ikoyi, Lagos, was attended by family, friends, and notable figures.
Speculation about AY’s absence arose after no videos or photos surfaced online showing him at the event. This led to criticism from netizens, with many accusing the comedian of shunning the solemn occasion.
Amid the controversy, AY took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and his brother. Both wore black outfits and sunglasses, suggesting he might have attended the burial privately. Captioning the photo, AY wrote:
“It is well….”
Mixed Reactions from Fans after
The post has drawn mixed reactions, with some fans defending AY’s decision to maintain a low profile, while others expressed disappointment.
While the comedian’s response does not directly address the criticism, it underscores the sensitive nature of the situation, leaving room for interpretation.
