AY Makun Slams AI Deepfake Scandal: ‘Stop Tearing People Down!’”

 

Popular comedian and actor AY Makun has strongly reacted to a manipulated Artificial Intelligence (AI) video falsely depicting him kissing businesswoman May Edochie.

 

The controversy erupted after May Edochie was spotted traveling in business class with AY Makun en route to the highly anticipated UK premiere of The Waiter, set to hit theaters on January 31, 2025. Shortly after their travel photos surfaced, an AI-generated video of them allegedly sharing a kiss began circulating online, fueling wild speculations.

Addressing the scandal, AY took to social media to denounce the fake video and called out online trolls for their relentless smear campaigns. He expressed frustration over repeated attempts to tarnish his reputation and sabotage his working relationships, referencing a past controversy where reality star Alex Unusual was also falsely linked to him.

In his passionate statement, AY urged social media users to redirect their creativity toward constructive efforts rather than fueling baseless rumors.

AY’s Full Response:

“Dear Online Innovators, As the future leaders and change-makers of Nigeria, I urge you to channel your immense creative talents toward building a better nation rather than tearing each other down. Nigeria is rich with potential, and your unique skills—be it in art, music, technology, or entrepreneurship—can be pivotal in driving positive change.”

He further lamented the toxic culture of online defamation, questioning why people continue to drive away those who work with him.

“The other time, it was the poor @alex_unusual who is yet to come out of all the lies and narratives meted out on her person for choosing always to support a family who was a major part of her brand growth. Must you all chase away everyone working with me or trying to earn an honest living through me?”

Despite the controversy, AY redirected attention to the real reason for their trip—The Waiter movie premiere. He urged fans to use their talents to promote the film rather than spread misinformation.

With the rise of deepfake technology, AY’s case highlights growing concerns about AI-generated misinformation and its potential to harm reputations. While social media remains divided on the matter, many fans and colleagues have rallied behind the comedian, condemning the false video and calling for responsible digital content creation.

As the drama unfolds, one thing remains clear—AY Makun is not backing down against internet falsehoods.

The statement noted that Buratai, who served as Chief of Army Staff and later as ambassador, had throughout his career demonstrated discipline, professionalism and respect for constitutional authority.
According to Mohammed, the retired lieutenant general has consistently expressed support for the Tinubu administration and its Renewed Hope agenda, particularly in the areas of national security, youth empowerment and national cohesion.

 

He said, “Gen. Buratai remains a committed Nigerian statesman who has always placed national interest above personal politics.”

General Buratai Backs Son’s Political Ambition, Calls For Greater Youth Inclusion In Governance

 

Former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has urged Nigerians to support young people in pursuing their dreams and taking active roles in politics, as he publicly endorsed the political ambition of his son, Tukur Buratai Jnr.

Buratai, a former Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, made the call in a statement shared on his verified Facebook page, where he expressed support for his son’s decision to contest for the Biu Constituency seat in the Borno State House of Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress⁠�.

According to the retired military chief, Nigeria’s future depends largely on its youthful population, stressing that excluding young people from governance and leadership would hinder national growth and development.

He noted that Nigerian youths should not merely be regarded as leaders of tomorrow, but as active contributors and solution providers capable of shaping the country’s future today.

Buratai further emphasized the need to create opportunities and an enabling environment for young Nigerians to thrive politically, economically, and socially, describing youth inclusion as critical to nation-building.

The endorsement of Captain Buratai Jnr, a pilot, is being viewed by political observers as a symbolic transfer of leadership ideals, discipline, and patriotism from one generation to another.

His candidacy is also expected to inject youthful energy and fresh perspectives into legislative representation in Biu Constituency ahead of future political contests.

As preparations gradually begin towards the next electoral cycle, Buratai’s message is likely to resonate among young Nigerians seeking greater participation in governance and public service.
