Comedian Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has issued a public apology to Afrobeat singer, David Adeleke, a.k.a Davido, for a joke he made about women getting pregnant for the singer at a public event in Warri, Delta State.
AY, who is also an actor, took to his social media platform on Sunday, October 8, 2023, to issue a public apology to the award-winning singer and performer.
AY had cracked a joke when he was introduced as a guest artiste at an event in Warri with Davido’s viral hit song ‘Unavailable’, explaining that if the singer was not ‘available’ as claimed in the hit song and women were getting impregnated by Davido in such numbers, what would happen if the singer was actually ‘available’?
The words said by the comedian at the event were believed to have been developed after the 30 BG boss was called out by various women on social media in the middle of the year for allegedly getting them pregnant while he was married to his wife Chioma.
AY, in his apology, acknowledged that making such a joke should not have happened and that he apologised to Davido as no harm was intended.
AY 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 US and Canada, 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 or negative thoughts coming my way for the joke that was badly delivered in Warri. So, no excuses at all, my Aburo. No reason am. I remain your number one fan, and I love you, @davido.”
The public apology attracted a direct response from the singer himself as he took to the comment section to share his thoughts, which read, “Nothing spoil baba mi.”
