Comedian Ayo Makun, widely known as AY, has issued a public apology to Afrobeats singer Davido for making an insensitive joke about him. AY came under scrutiny after a video of his performance in Warri surfaced on social media in which he used Davido as the subject of his joke, commenting on the singer's multiple baby mamas. 

This incident occurred shortly after the comedian welcomed a new baby into his family, 13 years after the birth of his first child, Michelle. In light of the backlash, AY expressed his regret and offered his apologies to Davido for the insensitive remark.

Speaking in the viral video, AY said: “Davido, with his small prick, dey give people belle, belle, belle, belle. With my big Warri prick, 13 years belle no come.”

The joke did not land well with many netizens who found it offensive and inappropriate, as they criticised him for making such personal and potentially hurtful remarks about the singer.

Following the backlash, AY took to his official Instagram page to tender an apology to Davido.

He wrote: “I am so sorry for telling that joke the way it came out in Warri. I shouldn’t even call it a joke anymore. It wasn’t funny like it was during my tour of Canada and US and you have every right to be angry after seeing how the blogs used it.

“Please know that it is always a learning experience for all of us in the entertainment business. I deserve any backlash coming my way for the joke that was badly delivered. No excuses at all, my Aburo. No reason am. I remain your number one fan, and I love you, @davido.”
