Well-known stand-up comedian AY Makun has reacted to the allegations leveled at him by controversial afrobeat artist Seun Kuti. In the early hours of yesterday, Seun Kuti made some allegations against AY comedian as he disclosed why he threw a party when the comedian’s house caught fire earlier this year. According to Seun Kuti, AY made several jokes about him and his daughter, referring to his daughter as a dog. Seun’s statement: “They said I laughed when AY Makun’s house burned down, but if you follow me often, you’d know that the day his house caught fire, I went live without delay.”

He explained that he uses trending issues for most of his jokes and that the video Suen referred to as the skit in which he called his daughter a dog is untrue. According to AY, he used the Hilda Baci dog-eating issue for a skit when she was called out by a dog lover for cooking and eating dogs as a delicacy. AY further threw a subtle shade at Seun Kuti, stating that his late father, Fella, used to mock politicians during his days as a way of creating content; hence, his style of comedian is a style he learned from the artists’ father.
