AY clears the air on viral joke he made about Davido’s ‘preek’ [VIDEO]

• AY has finally broken his silence regarding a joke about Davido that many of his fans didn’t find funny at the time.
• The comedian had weeks back, spoken about the musician impregnating different women despite having a small manhood.
• Stating that the timing wasn’t right, AY explained that he made the joke on tour but when the video went viral much later, it wasn’t well received because of another trending issue regarding Amaju Pinnick.

Popular comedian, filmmaker and actor, AY Makun has finally, spoken on his viral joke about Davido that earned him backlash from the singer’s fans.

Recall that in a viral video, AY took the stage and made a sensitive joke about Davido’s ability to impregnate women despite having a small manhood.

It happened that during the Warri stop of AY’s tour, he cracked a joke when he was introduced as a guest artiste during the event, with Davido’s viral hit song ‘Unavailable’. He stated 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’?.

He jokingly mentioned Davido having multiple babies with multiple women with his “small preek” whereas he struggled for 13 years to conceive again with his own wife.

The words said by the comedian at the event were believed to have 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.

In a recent interview with Toke Makinwa, AY revealed that he had told the joke to an audience during his tour, and it was well-received and one of the funniest amongst a set of jokes he made.

However, he added that when the video went viral, the reception was different and ill-timed because it was at a point when Amaju Pinnick called out Davido over a debt. AY added that although Davido reacted positively to the joke, it didn’t stop his fans, who see themselves as his messiah and defender, from attacking him.

He also said that sensationalism, the wicked headlines bloggers slammed on it and the fact that Nigerians do not investigate before reacting, blew the joke out of proportion. He said in part:

“I did a tour and I made a joke on David, it was one of the funniest of the set but when the joke came back home it was already stale. It was a trend at the time so that people could connect with it so it was making sense. I’m human and my timing wasn’t right when the joke came out.”
