Despite being in the spotlight for over a decade, Nigerian comedian and filmmaker Ayo Makun remains a force to reckon with. Known for his versatility and consistency, the comic star has made it clear he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.
Taking to his Instagram page, AY shared a series of stylish new photos accompanied by a powerful message. Addressing the belief that the spotlight fades with age, he confidently disagreed.
“They said the spotlight dims with age… I guess I forgot the memo.
Call it grace.
#StillRelevant #AYNoDeyRetire”
The caption drew admiration from fans who flooded his comment section with praise:
-
@medina_inusa: “Sugar Zaddy of Lagos”
-
@maria_ibiang: “Very fine sugar daddy”
-
@j_funmi: “You’re ageing backwards and gracefully”
-
@amakanwnk: “E joy before the waist go bend”
-
@rebeccarepene: “No be lie. Mr AY no dey retire”
Just weeks ago, AY credited his daughters for being his greatest motivation. He explained that one of the reasons he pushes himself so hard is to ensure they are secure and well provided for. For him, fatherhood isn’t just a title — it’s his highest calling and the heart behind his hustle.
In addition to his comedic success, AY has positioned himself as a voice of reason within the industry. In a recent post, he urged fellow entertainers to mind their words and actions, especially when dealing with colleagues. He emphasized the importance of emotional intelligence, warning against projecting personal struggles onto others.
“It’s good to protect what’s yours, but don’t let insecurities make you blind to how you treat others,” he advised.
Earlier this year, the comedian opened up about the misinterpretations surrounding his public image. He reflected on how grace helped him overcome obstacles and how he has learned not to internalize the opinions of those who only see the surface.
He also shared a powerful reflection on peace and growth, noting:
“You’ll only find peace through coexistence. Set high standards. Stop expecting perfection. Teach others from a place of love.”
With a renewed mindset and unshaken drive, it’s clear AY is nowhere near done. He’s not just ageing gracefully — he’s evolving with purpose.
