In other news, Nigerian comedian and actor Ayo Makun, widely recognized as AY Comedian, has seemingly directed veiled remarks towards his estranged wife, Mabel, while celebrating his brother Yomi Casual’s wife, Grace Makun, at an extravagant birthday event.

Yomi Casual, whose full name is Omoniyi Makun, organized a remarkable 40th birthday celebration, which was further enhanced by an inspiring speech delivered by his wife that captivated both him and the attendees.

In her address, Grace Makun conveyed deep appreciation to her husband for his steadfast support and encouragement during her difficult times. The mother of two shared that his motivation played a crucial role in her achieving considerable success, including generating substantial revenue in her business endeavors.

While AY Comedian refrained from naming anyone specifically, fans speculated that his remarks were an indirect reference to his wife, Mabel.

It is worth noting that in April 2024, AY made a startling revelation regarding his marriage to Mabel. Their divorce came as a surprise to many Nigerians, especially since the family frequently showcased affectionate interactions on social media.

In the aftermath of their separation, AY Comedian and Mabel became involved in a custody dispute concerning their second daughter.

A video capturing the moment AY Comedian subtly criticized Mabel while lauding his brother’s wife during the birthday celebration gained significant traction on social media, prompting various reactions in the comment section.
