Seasoned comedian, Ayo Makun better known as AY, has said that all the problems he’s encountered in recent months started when he declared support for the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 Presidential election, Peter Obi.
He made the remark over the weekend during his AY Live comedy show, adding that despite what’s been happening, he still does not regret throwing his weight behind Obi.
The 30 Days in Atlanta star recalled some of the issues he began to experience issues following the elections, which include a fire outbreak at his house, getting into a serious argument with Davido and Seun Kuti, and almost ending his marriage.
“As I am here, I still stand before you and tell you that ‘I do not regret supporting Peter Obi’…,” AY said, causing an eruption of applause and cheers from the audience.
“Na where my problem start be this oh,” the comedian said in response to the cheers, adding; “But fire never burn una house ohh.”

CorrectNG reported earlier that AY Comedian has expressed shock over his unexpected move from being scandal-free to courting controversies.
He said he finds it hard to believe that that he’s been embroiled in scandals since he granted an interview where the host pointed out that he was scandal-free at the time.
Speaking during a chat with popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo on the Gold Room podcast, the 52-year-old standup comedian said it all happened like a fluke.
AY said: “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 responded: “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.”
In response, the comic act said: “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.”
