Comedian AY tenders public apology to Davido for his insensitive joke
Afrobeats superstar Davido has received a public apology from comedian Ayo Makun, popularly referred to as AY, for making an offensive joke about him.
After a video of AY criticizing Davido during the latter’s recent concert in Warri went viral on social media, AY has been in the news.
As he made fun of Davido’s numerous baby mothers, he turned the joke on the singer.
13 years after the birth of his first kid, Michelle, the comedian welcomed a new child into the family.
Speaking in the viral video, AY said: “Davido, with his small prick, dey give people belle, belle, belle, belle. With my big Warri prick, 13 years belle no come.”
Many online users felt the joke to be insulting and disrespectful, and they criticized him for using the artist in such a personal and potentially painful way.
AY apologized to Davido on his official Instagram page after receiving negative feedback.
He wrote: “I am so sorry for telling that joke the way it came out in Warri. I shouldn’t even call it a joke anymore. It wasn’t funny like it was during my tour of Canada and US and you have every right to be angry after seeing how the blogs used it.
“Please know that it is always a learning experience for all of us in the entertainment business. I deserve any backlash coming my way for the joke that was badly delivered. No excuses at all, my Aburo. No reason am. I remain your number one fan, and I love you, @davido.”
