Nigerian comedian and filmmaker, Ayodeji Makun, popularly known as AY, has responded to an AI-generated video circulating online that falsely depicts him kissing May Yul-Edochie.
Taking to his Instagram page on Wednesday night, the 53-year-old comedian dismissed the misleading clip while urging content creators to use their skills responsibly.
He called on young innovators to channel their creativity into positive contributions rather than fueling misinformation and online attacks.
AY, with a touch of humor, acknowledged the video but emphasized the need for a more supportive and uplifting digital space.
He referenced a similar incident involving Big Brother Naija star, Alex Unusual, highlighting the growing trend of social media manipulation and character attacks.
Expressing concern over how individuals associated with him often face unwarranted scrutiny, AY encouraged a shift in mindset.
“Let’s focus on supporting each other’s legitimate efforts and fostering a culture of innovation and respect,” he said.
The comedian also praised businesses like Air Peace for backing creative projects, using the airline’s support for The Waiter Movie as an example of how talent and enterprise can drive positive change.
He urged young Nigerians to use their skills to build rather than divide.
