What’s wrong with Nigerian comedian AY?

AY
AY
Is AY on a sole mission to bring the soaring Nigerian comedy industry to disrepute? What’s with his new sissy idea of going around begging and apologizing to everyone who felt offended by his jokes.

AY, there’s no way you can be a force to reckon with in the comic industry and not offend people with your work. Almost every jokes told on stage are about somebody.
It started when the comedian wrote what seemed like a whole book on Facebook apologizing to the top notches at Kennis music for making fun of them.

While some of the fans who read the very long, boring and tiring speech thought the comedian was being nice and humble, professional comedians found the speech belittling and dangerous to their trade.

Now, AY towed the disgraceful path again by apologizing to controversial actress cum musician Tonto Dikeh, for making fun of her song.

First, why is Tonto so sensitive about her songs? If she doesn’t have confidence in them she should quickly withdraw them from the public domain. She put them out there and so should take whatever criticisms they generate.

And back to AY, if he wants to abandon comedy and take up apologizing as a profession, he’s very welcomed. So here is the list of people to apologize to. Let him start with all the politicians he has poked fun at while on stage, then D’ Banj and the entire Mo Hit crew, J Martins, all the prophets in Nigeria. When he’s done with them, he can now apologize to every Nigerian, and in fact, to everyone in the world, because it seems he has made jokes about everyone and everything in the universe.

AY, we love you, please don’t let people without sense of humor cloud your senses and bring your successful career to its knees.
