Popular Nigerian comedian and actor AY Makun has finally broken his silence on the swirling rumours that he is seeking reconciliation with his estranged wife, Mabel. The internet has been buzzing in recent days with speculative posts and faceless blog stories suggesting that the comedian was regretting his failed marriage and working behind the scenes to win her back. But in a strongly worded statement shared on his Instagram page late Thursday night, AY poured cold water on the reports, describing them as false, manipulative, and a deliberate attempt to drag his personal life into gossip headlines.
In his post, the veteran entertainer said he never authorised or issued any comment regarding reconciliation with Mabel, making it clear that if he ever had something to say about his marriage or private life, it would not come through “faceless blogs and rumour-driven platforms.” According to AY, these stories are nothing more than attention-seeking fabrications designed to exploit his name for traffic and engagement. His words were firm: “Enough of the lies.”
The comedian, who has been in the public eye for over two decades, went further by issuing what he described as a final warning. He stressed that he will no longer tolerate the circulation of false reports about his personal life and announced that legal measures would be taken against anyone who continues to peddle such defamatory stories. While he did not name the specific blogs or individuals behind the rumours, his statement was clear enough to send shivers across the gossip space where such stories usually thrive.
For many fans, the denial was expected. AY and Mabel officially went their separate ways in April 2024, with both parties confirming their split through social media posts that left little room for doubt. At the time, the breakup had sparked its own wave of speculation, with fans and industry watchers debating what could have gone wrong in the long-standing marriage. Since then, the topic has occasionally resurfaced, but the latest round of reconciliation rumours appears to have crossed the line for the comedian.
Interestingly, some of the fake stories had claimed that AY’s family members had allegedly approached Mabel in an effort to mend fences, a claim he has now labelled as baseless. There has been no word from Mabel herself since this fresh controversy broke out, suggesting that she is deliberately choosing silence rather than fanning the flames.
What makes the story particularly striking is AY’s decision to draw a hard line against bloggers and gossip platforms. Celebrities in Nigeria often ignore false stories until they fade, but AY’s threat of legal action indicates that he is not ready to let this slide. Whether this will actually lead to court cases remains to be seen, but his tone suggests a man tired of being the subject of endless speculation about his private life.
On the gossip side of things, fans cannot help but wonder if there is more behind the strong reaction. After all, whenever marriage and celebrity breakups come up in Nigeria, the public always reads between the lines. But until either party confirms otherwise, AY has made it abundantly clear, there is no reconciliation going on, and he wants everyone to move on from the narrative.
With this latest development, AY Makun has once again found himself at the centre of entertainment news, not for a comedy show or movie, but for a very personal battle with the rumour mill. Whether his warning calms the storm or stirs up more online drama, only time will tell. One thing is certain: the comedian is drawing a firm boundary, and he expects it to be respected.
