Backlash Ensues as Comedian AY Refers to Daughter as ‘Benefit’

AY Makun has faced criticism from internet users for his recent social media post about his daughter, which came shortly after confirming rumors of marital issues with his wife, Mabel. The comedian acknowledged the challenges in his marriage of two decades and expressed regret over his actions.

Despite stating that he would not discuss personal matters publicly, AY shared a video collage of his daughter on Instagram, leading to backlash from Nigerians who accused him of using his child as a tool amidst his marital problems.

Social media users advised AY to refrain from involving his daughter in the situation, emphasizing the importance of respecting her privacy and not exploiting her for public attention during a difficult time. They urged him to prioritize his family’s well-being over personal pride and to handle the situation with maturity and discretion.

Aghogho_mena’s statement was criticized for its tone of pride and ignorance, implying that the only benefit of a 20-year relationship was the children involved. The comment suggested that the focus on material gains and possessions overshadowed the true essence of marriage and family.

Eghimonu’s response highlighted the selfish and immature nature of the original caption, indicating a lack of consideration for the emotional impact of the post.

Adeyinkadayo expressed concern about the potential negative effects of such insensitive posts on the mental well-being of the individuals involved, particularly the children. The comment emphasized the importance of avoiding actions that could lead to emotional distress.

Cute_mjt’s reaction emphasized the need for respect, love, and value in a marriage, rather than focusing solely on material benefits. The comment suggested that the original post lacked sensitivity and understanding of the deeper aspects of a committed relationship.

Twist_gender questioned the sincerity of the original poster’s concern for mental health, pointing out the contradiction between the caption’s content and the supposed care for the well-being of others. The comment implied that the post was inappropriate given the circumstances.
