Nigerian actor and producer AY Comedian has reacted to a viral video that falsely depicts him kissing May Edochie, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie.
The video, which was artificially generated, purportedly shows the two sharing a kiss while on a flight to the United Kingdom for the premiere of AY’s film, The Waiter.
Addressing the controversy on social media, AY Comedian condemned the spread of the misleading clip and urged those behind it to channel their creativity into positive endeavors.
He also referenced the recent online harassment of reality TV star Alex Unusual, who was similarly accused of having a romantic relationship with him, highlighting the dangers of misinformation and cyberbullying.
In a lengthy post, AY Comedian wrote: “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. Instead of using your creativity to undermine those who are working hard to improve their lives and contribute to society, let’s focus on uplifting one another.
“It’s essential to recognize that every action has consequences. When we choose to sabotage others, we only perpetuate a cycle of negativity and destruction. At what point will we realize that unity and collaboration will yield far greater results than division? 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 to always be a support a family who were 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?
“Let’s come together to support one another’s hustles, celebrate our achievements, and inspire a culture of innovation and respect. The future of Nigeria depends on our collective efforts to foster an environment where everyone can thrive”
