You Don’t Have To Be Funny To Succeed As A Comedian – Bae U Jabs AY
Nigerian skit maker and content creator, Bae U Barbie, has stirred social media buzz after making a bold remark about popular comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, widely known as AY.
During the latest episode of his show, ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask,’ Bae U introduced AY with a statement that has since sparked mixed reactions online.
While welcoming the comedian, Bae U insinuated that AY’s career proves that being humorous isn’t a prerequisite for success in the comedy industry.
“Our guest today is a reminder that you don’t have to be funny to be a successful comedian in Nigeria,” Bae U declared in a teaser snippet of the upcoming episode, which has now gone viral.

The remark has fueled debates among fans, with some agreeing with Bae U’s sentiment, while others argue that AY’s business acumen and consistency have played a significant role in his rise to fame.
Interestingly, AY himself has previously acknowledged in an interview that he does not consider himself one of Nigeria’s funniest comedians.
Despite this, he remains one of the most commercially successful figures in the industry, known for his AY Live comedy shows and successful ventures in Nollywood.
This isn’t the first time AY has been in the spotlight for personal or professional matters. Earlier this year, he made headlines after publicly addressing an 18-year feud with fellow comedian Basketmouth, which they both confirmed had been resolved.
The viral snippet from ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ has reignited the ongoing discourse about what it truly takes to succeed in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, especially in the comedy sector.
Fans and industry watchers eagerly await the full episode to see how AY responds to Bae U’s subtle dig. For now, the public remains divided, with some seeing Bae U’s comment as playful banter, while others perceive it as a blunt critique of AY’s comedic prowess.

Seun Kuti Distances Himself From Burna Boy, Speed Darlington’s Feud
Renowned singer, Seun Kuti, has made it clear that he wants no involvement in the ongoing dispute between his fellow artists, Burna Boy and Speed Darlington.
The conflict began after Speed Darlington accused Burna Boy of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with American music mogul, Diddy, as a means to secure a Grammy Award. The accusation led to Speed Darlington’s arrest, further fuelling the controversy.
During a recent Instagram live session, Seun Kuti addressed fans who tried to draw him into the drama. He stated that his acceptance of diamond jewellery from Burna Boy does not place him in the position of an advisor to the Grammy-winning artist.

“Don’t involve me in Burna Boy & Speed Darlington’s case; because I collected a diamond from him doesn’t mean I’m his close adviser,” Kuti said.
The Afrobeat singer went on to highlight the irony in the allegations, pointing out that Diddy, whom Speed Darlington accused Burna Boy of associating with, played a role in making Speed Darlington famous.
He explained, “Diddy was even the one who made Speed Darlington popular. He reposted ‘Bangdadang’ which made the song popular. I have done a lot of songs, and Diddy never posted any of them, but he reposted Speed Darlington’s song.”
Seun Kuti’s remarks have since sparked discussions among fans and followers of the ongoing saga, as the fallout between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington continues to unfold.

However, Denilson Igwe, who has previously accused Mark Angel of financial misconduct, has hinted that the claims might be untrue. Responding via Instagram, Igwe wrote, “Lies na water. Some people are just worst than the devil.”
The post reignited public interest in the duo’s rocky history. In 2024, Igwe had publicly accused Mark Angel of diverting the comedy team’s streaming revenues into personal accounts.

As reactions to the unfolding drama continue to pour in, fans are divided, with some questioning the authenticity of Mark Angel’s claims and others criticizing Igwe’s public approach to addressing the issue.
Neither Mark Angel nor his team has officially responded to Igwe’s latest remarks.
