Ayo Richard Maku, the Nigerian stand-up comedian better known as AY, has discussed how he moved from being scandal-free to chasing controversy.
In a recent interview with actress Iyabo Ojo for the Gold Room podcast, the 52-year-old described his story.
In a brief video posted 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.”
AY then said in part: “I’ve been that kind of person since until somebody now interviewed me one day and said ‘Hello AY you are one of the few celebrities without scandal’ as soon as I heard the word, I just woke up one day, from without scandal to scandal.”
