Photo: Comedian AY Sparks Reactions As He Celebrates Son’s 17th Birthday

Nigerian comedian cum filmmaker, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has sparked reactions online over a birthday post to his 17-year-old ‘son’.

Naija News reports that the movie star took to his Instagram page to share a photo of his ‘son’, Denzel, accompanied by a birthday message.

AY showered the celebrant with prayers and love, adding he would see him soon.

He wrote, “My son is 17. May each day be a step closer to your dreams, filled with the warmth of love and the thrill of new adventures. Happy birthday, Denzel. Daddy loves you. See you soon.”

However, some Nigerians took to his comment section to express doubt over AY’s social media post, while others claimed they have always known two of his daughters with his wife, Mabel Makun.

Don’t be unwîse”
