Nigerian stand-up comedian Ayo Richard Makun, better known by his stage name AY, has talked about how he went from being scandal-free to chasing controversy.
The 52-year-old actor shared his story with actress Iyabo Ojo in a recent interview for the Gold Room podcast.
In a brief video shared on Instagram on Friday, February 16, AY stated, : “The more you look at me, the more you want to think it might be some sort of fluke and the more I get hated as well.”
Iyabo Ojo said, “I don’t think it’s the hate, I think people love you. You know the way it is with Nigerians they just have the way they expect their idols to be.”
