Nigerian comedian and filmmaker Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has issued a strong warning to the public about the dangers of fake friends and the subtle betrayals that often come from people who claim to care.
Taking to his Twitter page, the award-winning entertainer advised fans to be vigilant about those who parade themselves as friends yet are the first to amplify negative news about them—especially when such stories can be used for clout or monetisation.
AY stressed that genuine friendship cannot coexist with opportunistic behaviour that thrives on another person’s downfall.
“Beware of anyone who calls you a friend yet rushes to jump on any negative news about you just to trend and gain monetisation. Not everyone around you wishes you well. May God protect us from friends who are truly enemies in disguise. Their karma is never far,” he wrote, delivering a message that resonated with thousands of followers.
AY’s warning comes at a time when conversations about loyalty, betrayal, and mental health in the entertainment industry have been gaining attention. The comedian has consistently used his platform to touch on personal growth, self-awareness, and the need to shield one’s peace—especially in an industry where public opinion spreads fast and misunderstandings escalate quickly.
Just a few months ago, AY spoke about how many people expect celebrities to fade with age, noting that he had “missed the memo.” Despite being in the entertainment industry for decades, the father of two declared that he has no plans to retire anytime soon. He credited his children as the fuel behind his drive, explaining that one of the biggest reasons he pushes himself so hard is to ensure that his kids remain secure and well provided for.
According to him, his greatest purpose is rooted in family. He said caring for the two young lives that depend on him gives him motivation each day and strengthens his passion to keep breaking boundaries, regardless of the challenges he faces.
In another recent message addressed to colleagues in the entertainment circuit, AY urged industry players to manage their affairs with wisdom. He emphasised that misdirected anger often stems from personal struggles, and lashing out at others who are completely unaware of our battles only exposes inner weakness.
Earlier this year, the comedian opened up about feeling misunderstood and misrepresented by some sections of the public. He reflected on the difficulties of maintaining a public persona while navigating personal hurdles behind the scenes. According to him, many of those who judge or troll him often do so based solely on what they see from afar. He credited grace for helping him rise above setbacks and continue moving forward with courage and determination.
As a divorcee who has openly shared lessons from his emotional journey, AY has frequently spoken about the value of peace. In one of his reflective messages, he highlighted that peace is not merely the absence of conflict but a deliberate choice to coexist harmoniously. He explained that he has learned to withdraw from unnecessary confrontations, choosing instead to set higher standards for himself and encouraging others to do the same.
With his latest warning, AY reinforces a recurring theme in his public messaging: protecting one’s peace begins with recognizing who truly belongs in your inner circle.
