Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has expressed deep gratitude and pride after receiving heartwarming support from his daughters during a recent event in the UK.
Sharing the touching moment on Tuesday, AY said his daughters are his biggest motivation and the reason behind his exceptional performances.
“There’s nothing quite like the joy of having my daughters come around to cheer me on just before I hit the stage,” he wrote. “Michelle flew in all the way from the UK, but my biggest joy was seeing Ayomide (My joy has come), who was brought just to surprise me. She didn’t want me out of her sight for a second.”
He added that their love and presence were the true source of his confidence and best performance yet, noting, “Knowing they are proud of me fuels my soul and reminds me why I do what I do.”
AY highlighted how the love and support from his daughters have had a profound impact on his career, inspiring him to push through challenges and deliver his best on stage.
This is not the first time the comedian has publicly celebrated his daughters.
In January, he marked his younger daughter’s birthday by expressing regret over the limited time spent with her due to his separation from her mother.
Despite the distance, he reaffirmed the deep love both parents have for her.
In April 2023, AY had announced the end of his nearly two-decade-long relationship with his wife, Mabel, acknowledging mistakes and expressing sorrow over the loss of his home.
