While AY didn’t specifically assert that he attended Mabel’s mom’s burial, some netizens concluded that he did due to the black outfit photo.

Recall that in April 2024, AY addressed speculations of crisis in his marriage with his wife Mabel Makun.

The notorious blogger Gistlover sparked a firestorm with scandalous claims that Mabel had left her marital abode, attributing her exit to purported infidelity on the part of the comedian.

However, AY admitted that neither he nor his wife is without fault, yet he expressed a firm stance against delving deeper into their private matters for public consumption.

AY revealed that one of the reasons for his discretion is the presence of his teenage daughter Michelle on social media, as he prioritizes safeguarding her mental well-being from any potential harm.

He openly acknowledged that his longstanding friendship and marriage of 20 years with Mabel is slipping from his grasp. AY expressed frustration over the propagation of falsehoods about him, which has stirred significant reactions from his online fanbase.
